Have you seen these pieces of art in person? 🔽 If you've been to the Greater Fort Lauderdale / Broward County Convention Center recently, chances are, you've probably walked over it! 😉That's right, this artwork is on the floor, and it just won the 2026 Job of the Year Award from the National Terrazzo & Mosaic Association! Out of 17 incredible terrazzo projects from across the entire country, ours stood out.

🎨This piece of public art tells the story of our community while enhancing the visitor experience at the same time. Stop by and take a look.

Headed to the beach this weekend? Watch out for sea turtle nests that look like this. ⬇️ There have been over 1,800 nests marked on Broward Beaches so far this season. Also, if you go to the beach at night, be mindful of camera flashes. Artificial lights threaten sea turtles coming ashore to nest. 🐢

The transition will roll out over the next 12 to 18 months and will improve reliability, coordination, cybersecurity, and future technology integration. More info: https://webapps.broward.org/newsrelease/View.aspx?intMessageId=16217
