So, why does it feel like Publix has a monopoly?

The answer lies in Weston’s history. When the city was developed, Arvida was the primary developer responsible for constructing most of Weston’s commercial plazas. During that time, a man named Daniel Brown led Arvida’s commercial development efforts. Brown became a preferred developer for Publix, and many of Weston’s grocery locations were built as part of that relationship.

Because Weston has limited commercial space and was carefully planned from the start, there are few available locations suitable for a full-scale grocery store. Any competitor hoping to open a store in Weston would likely need to wait for Publix to vacate one of its 5 Weston locations.

What does a City Clerk do? I can assure you, the Clerk isn’t ringing up groceries. The City Clerk is the caretaker for all city records and documents, prepares agendas and minutes for all city commission meetings and workshops, responds to public records requests, and generally keeps the elected officials and the City Manager in check. While many things are digital these days, this photo of our records room gives you just a peek into the inner workings. Weston is lucky to have one of the most experienced City Clerks in South Florida.

For many of our City Commission meetings, this is the Mayor’s view. All city business is conducted in the sunshine, but often we are alone at City Hall. Weston’s budget meetings are scheduled for 9/14 and 9/28, both at 7:00pm.

The proposed budget is online, TRIM notices have gone out, and you have the opportunity to be heard.

In addition to the Emergency Operations Center, the Administrative Services Center (hurricane rated to Category 5) next door to City Hall houses 12 dorm rooms and some support resources (showers/kitchen). In the event of a hurricane, emergency personnel will work alternating 12 hour shifts and stay on site before, during, and after a storm. While it is not easy to leave family behind, that affords us the opportunity to respond quickly to whatever aftermath we encounter. It isn’t the Four Seasons, but it will suffice.

In the late 80s, Broward County was eyeing two sites for a new airport to relieve Ft Lauderdale/Hollywood. One of those locations was the NW corner of Arvida’s development. Homeowners, led by then HOA President Eric Hersh, harshly criticized the proposal, and 5 years later the EPA rejected it outright due to the environmental impacts to the wetland area.
