Council discusses security cameras and public safety measures in Loxahatchee Groves

During the Town Council Regular Meeting on June 3, 2025, in Loxahatchee Groves, significant discussions focused on community safety and infrastructure improvements. One of the key highlights was a proposal to enhance safety measures concerning the RV program, which has raised concerns among residents. Council member Phyllis emphasized the need for protective measures against registered offenders, suggesting that the town consider designating maintenance easements, greenways, and parks as linear parks.
