The physical transformation now evident in roadways, parks, community centers and other facilities throughout the City of Hollywood began in earnest in 1998. At that time, the City Commission and Administration implemented a significant Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to replace aging infrastructure and to aesthetically enhance the City. The goals of the CIP remain the same today as then – to improve services and create an attractive environment for residents, businesses and tourists while increasing economic growth within the City. In conjunction with the City’s CIP the voters of Hollywood approved a General Obligation Bond (GOB) Referendum in November 0f 2004. The GOB was created specifically for enhancements to Public Safety and Parks and Recreation facilities. DCM implemented a full scale plan to design and construct the $53.6 million dollars in Bond projects to be completed within a five (5) year period.

The Department of Design and Construction Management, being charged with the implementation of a major part of the CIP and GOB, fully supports the Administration’s vision of improved services, facilities and infrastructure as a means of stimulating economic growth. We have a group of experienced professionals who are dedicated to excellence in engineering and architectural design, and who are primarily responsible for the construction and enhancement of City facilities. Evidence of this can be seen throughout the City in the projects that have been completed to date.

We look forward to applying our knowledge and experience to make even greater contributions through proposed future improvements to parks, community centers, police, fire and other City facilities. We realize as well that the beach and downtown areas have the potential to spur economic growth in the City of Hollywood. Therefore, we remain strongly committed to working with the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to produce the necessary improvements and ensure that this growth takes place.
