Strategic Plan 2025-2027
The Town Council began work in January 2025 on
the annual update of the Town of Jupiter’s Strategic Plan.
New strategic initiatives have been identified as well as
key next steps to take on multiyear strategic initiatives
that were already in the overall strategic plan.
There will continue to be significant efforts to bring
to fruition a number of traffic mitigation solutions

signalization improvements along the western portion
of Indiantown Road including use of new technologies
and equipment. This will require collaborative efforts
by our town along with FDOT and Palm Beach County.
Palm Beach County has overall accountability for
managing traffic signalization throughout most of the
county, including Jupiter.
One of the new strategic initiatives that I identified
relates to historic preservation. We should continue
ongoing efforts to collaboratively work with the Suni
Sands property owner to respect and preserve the unique
archeological and historical nature of portions of this
unique site.
