The Palm Beach County Commission recognized The Coastal Star’s 16 years of publication with a proclamation. Commissioner Marci Woodward, whose district includes the paper’s entire circulation area, sponsored the proclamation honoring the paper, which first published in November 2008. It cited the paper’s coverage — both news stories and features — of South County’s barrier island communities and applauded it ’for fostering a larger sense of community within coastal towns and cities.’ The proclamation noted that during the newspaper’s 16 years, it has won more than 325 awards in annual competitions sponsored by the Florida Press Club and the Florida Press Association.
