We good Are you still worried about buildings collapsing or have you moved on to worrying about whatever the hot thing is to worry about today?

Good news either way: the Village has finished its audit of buildings on the island, and they’re officially not worried about the imminent collapse of any of them. 👷‍♀️

Wide view What used to be called the Key Biscayne 2040 Vision Plan, is now just called the Vision Plan, just in case the plan isn’t ready by 2040.

But how effective was the previous 2020 Vision Plan? Not everything proposed in the plan came true, but a good amount of it did and some of the topics still come up to this day, so it wasn’t for naught. Either way, you can start participating now in shaping the future of Key. ⏳
