During a recent government meeting, the city recognized two local residents, David Peck and Tony Mundo, for their outstanding renovation of a property located at 4051 Northeast 16th Avenue. The award presentation highlighted the significant transformation of the home, which was purchased in 2020 and underwent extensive renovations during the COVID-19 pandemic. The property now features an elegant entryway, a two-car garage, and beautifully landscaped surroundings, contributing positively to the community's aesthetic.

The meeting also featured a discussion about the Sunnyside Medical Cannabis Dispensary, located at 499 East Oakland Park Boulevard. The dispensary, which has revitalized a former drive-thru chicken restaurant, was praised for its well-maintained facade and landscaping, enhancing the overall appeal of the area. The local government emphasized the importance of such improvements in fostering community spirit and encouraging other business owners to invest in their properties.

Commissioners expressed their pride in the beautification efforts within the city, noting that renovations like those of Peck and Mundo's home inspire others to enhance their own properties. The meeting concluded with a commitment to continue supporting local initiatives that contribute to the community's growth and aesthetic appeal.
