Boynton Beach and Delray Beach might be asking what Gov. Ron DeSantis has against them after five of their projects totaling almost $3.5 million were vetoed by the governor in June.
In Boynton Beach, state money for three projects was cut by the governor. They are:
-- $1,018,400 for Sky Lake neighborhood road resurfacing;
-- $600,000 for a new generator at the city’s 911 communications center;
-- $591,066 for a Lake Shore bridge canal project.
Delray Beach saw funding vanish for two Legislature-approved projects:
-- $750,000 for underground utility improvements on Swinton Avenue north of Atlantic Avenue;
-- $500,000 for roadway restoration work on Southwest Eighth Avenue.
Delray Beach did have one of its appropriations go through, according to information provided by state Sen. Lori Berman’s office.
The city will receive $306,000 for an emergency response mobile traffic barrier and first responder protection.
