• Riviera Beach to get smaller convention center in huge marina project (palmbeachpost.com) — Riviera Beach leaders have picked Forest Development to overhaul the Marina Village area with a mid-sized convention center, hotel, restaurants, parks and boat storage, all without direct taxpayer funding. The $300–$400 million plan would replace the current Marina Events Center, add jobs and new amenities, and raise questions about affordability and access for everyday residents as the city undertakes broader, debt-funded redevelopment projects. 
• Singer Island beach littered with trash, overflowing cans after Memorial Day (wptv.com) — Singer Island’s Riviera Beach shoreline was left strewn with trash and overflowing cans after Memorial Day, alarming beachgoers worried about sea turtles and the environment. City officials say staff worked extended hours through the holiday, but turtle-season restrictions and heavy crowds complicated cleanup, and they’re reviewing operations to keep local beaches cleaner and safer this summer.
