About G.O. Pompano!

In 2018, voters overwhelmingly approved the “G.O. Pompano!” bond initiative, which secured $181 million in funding to improve local infrastructure, public safety and quality of life for Pompano Beach’s residents. The voter-approved funding has made it possible for the City to upgrade local roads, bridges and public safety facilities like police and fire stations, as well as transform old parks and playgrounds into modern and inviting community spaces.
