The Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-675-26, authorizing amended and restated county deeds to Building Better Communities of South Florida, Inc., permitting conveyance of three county properties to its affiliate Javon Gardens LLC, and granting a two-year extension to July 29, 2028, to obtain final certificates of occupancy for multi-family rental units for very low-, low-, or moderate-income households. The properties were originally conveyed under Resolution R-440-19 for single-family homes under the Infill Housing Program, later changed to multi-family rental units under Resolution R-124-24. The extension granted under R-124-24 expires July 29, 2026. Building Better Communities cited uncontrollable delays including completion of surveys and inability to secure financing on its own.
