In a heartfelt farewell during the latest City Center Podcast, Greg, a long-serving employee of West Palm Beach, reflected on his 50 years of dedicated service to the city. As he prepares to retire and move to Jacksonville to spend more time with family, Greg expressed deep gratitude for his colleagues, particularly those in the parks department, highlighting their teamwork and resilience in tackling challenging tasks.

Greg emphasized the importance of understanding the constraints city employees face when they must decline requests from residents. He explained that decisions are often guided by ordinances and budget limitations, underscoring the city's commitment to responsible governance. \"When we say no, it’s not because we don’t want to; it’s because we have to adhere to certain standards,\" he stated, using tree trimming as an example of the regulations that guide their work.

The podcast concluded with a tribute to Greg's contributions, with host Jerry Marcello thanking him for his years of service and the positive impact he has had on the community. As Greg embarks on this new chapter of his life, he leaves behind a legacy of dedication and a message of appreciation for the hardworking city employees who strive to serve the residents of West Palm Beach.
