The Plantation Acres Homeowners Association Board of Directors has requested that the second reading of the City of Plantation 2025–2045 Comprehensive Plan be rescheduled. Given the significance and long-term implications of this plan, we believe all residents should be provided additional time to thoroughly review the more than 500 pages of material contained in the proposal, become informed, ask questions, and better understand how the plan may affect the future of the City of Plantation before it is considered for adoption.

Plantation Acres recently reached a significant milestone when voters approved the dissolution of the Plantation Acres Improvement District (PAID) and the transfer of responsibility for flood control and water management to the City of Plantation. This outcome reflects many years of devoted effort by tireless volunteers who worked diligently to give their neighbors the opportunity to determine how these essential services would be governed. To those who contributed to this effort, thank you for your hard work, commitment to the democratic process, and your dedication to the future of Plantation Acres. This achievement would not have been possible without the active participation of the residents of Plantation Acres. We extend our sincere appreciation to everyone who cast a ballot in the election, regardless of which option you selected. By becoming informed and exercising your right to vote, you demonstrated strong support for the future of our community. Civic participation is the foundation of effective government, and your involvement ensured that this important decision reflected the will of the electorate. We would also like to thank the commissioners, staff, and colleagues of PAID who worked to better operations and standards within the limited scope of the district. The Plantation Acres Homeowners Association remains committed to improving all aspects of our neighborhood and building upon the strength of our engaged community. We hope you will join us in our efforts moving forward.

The Board of Directors announced the winners of the John George Scholarship Award for 2026 at the monthly PAHA Member Meeting on May 19, 2026. Congratulations to Bruce C., Danielle R., Derek A., and Riley D.!

The Board of the Plantation Acres Homeowners Association (PAHA) supports the transition of the Plantation Acres Improvement District (PAID) from an Independent District of the State of Florida to a Dependent District under the City of Plantation. At its meeting on Monday, April 27, the PAHA Board unanimously voted in favor of this transition. The Board believes this change will enhance accountability, improve operational efficiency, provide access to a broader range of resources, and ensure more consistent and standardized governmental processes under a single, centralized authority. PAHA’s position in support of this transition does not detract the Board's appreciation for the hard work and dedication demonstrated by the PAID Commissioners over the past year. Residents are encouraged to attend the next PAHA meeting on Tuesday, May 19th at 7 PM at Volunteer Park to learn more about the proposed transition, ask questions, and stay informed about its potential impact on the community.
