Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior Visits Oakland Park Following $2.5 Million Grant Award

Funding to be used for Improvements to City Centennial Park

OAKLAND PARK, Fla., Dec. 20, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The City of Oakland Park proudly hosted U.S. Department of the Interior Assistant Secretary Shannon Estenoz on Friday, December 13, 2024, at City Centennial Park. This visit included a tour of the park and a discussion of enhancements that will be funded through a $2.5 million grant awarded through the Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership (ORLP) program. The funding will enable the city to make significant improvements at City Centennial Park at 3900 NE 3rd Avenue to serve the community.

Photo Caption: David Hebert, City Manager, Oakland Park; Lauren Cruz, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Land and Recreation Grants Program; John McDade, National Park Service, Land and Water Conservation Fund; Aaron Wiener, National Park Service, Land and Water Conservation Fund; Fitz Budhoo, Commissioner, City of Oakland Park; Shannon Estenoz, Assistant Secretary, U.S. Department of the Interior; Tim Lonergan, Mayor, City of Oakland Park; Ana Alvarez, Chief Planning Officer, City of Oakland Park; Sierra Marrero, Director of Engineering and Community Development, City of Oakland Park; Claudelle Rose, Program Manager, City of Oakland Park; Melissa Alvarado, Budget & Grant Analyst, City of Oakland Park.

Earlier this year, the National Park Service selected the park, alongside more than 50 local parks across the country, in a competitive process. The ORLP program is a nationally competitive, dollar-for-dollar matching grant program that aids communities that lack access to close-by outdoor recreation.

Planned improvements at City Centennial Park include:

Green infrastructure and advanced drainage system to enhance sustainability.
Open-air seating and a performance space with lawn seating for community gatherings, cultural events, and performances.
ADA-compliant multi-use trails and parking to ensure accessibility for all residents and visitors.
Enhanced landscaping and upgraded lighting to create a welcoming and secure environment.

Phase 1 of City Centennial Park, completed in October 2022, introduced five pickleball courts, two basketball courts, an accessible playground, family restrooms, a renovated concession stand, and Oakland Park’s first splash pad. City Park was the first of several projects in the Comprehensive Facilities Plan aimed at Building Oakland Park’s Second Century. Funded through a bond that was approved by 67 percent of voters in 2018, the ten-year redevelopment plan includes additional projects like the North Andrews Gardens Community Center, opened in 2023, and Fire Station 9, completed in 2024.

Future phases of City Centennial Park include plans for a new community library, furthering Oakland Park’s role as a center for learning and cultural enrichment. The city also plans to expand the park by repurposing the adjacent public works complex, adding five acres of green space to this vibrant neighborhood. Strategically located in a qualified census tract within the Oakland Park Community Redevelopment Area, the park embodies the city’s revitalization efforts and underscores a commitment to inclusive growth, ensuring all neighborhoods benefit from enhanced resources and amenities.

The design of City Centennial Park incorporates elements featured in other city projects, such as North Andrews Gardens Community Center, Bark Park, and Dr. Carter G. Woodson Park, creating a unified aesthetic across Oakland Park’s public spaces. Architectural styles, bench and lighting designs, and amenity colors were carefully coordinated to ensure consistency and cohesion. This thoughtful approach not only enhances the visual identity of city facilities but also provides residents and visitors with a welcoming, connected experience. City Centennial Park’s design sets a benchmark for future projects, supporting Oakland Park’s vision as it approaches its centennial in 2029.

Photo caption: City Centennial Park.

“City Park is a shining example of our commitment to investing in our community and ensuring every neighborhood has access to high-quality amenities,” said City Manager David Hebert. “Located in a Qualified Census Tract, this park brings much-needed recreational opportunities and green space to an underserved area, fostering community connections and enhancing the quality of life for residents. It reflects our vision of creating a more inclusive, vibrant Oakland Park for generations to come” Hebert continued.

Oakland Park is undergoing a period of remarkable transformation. Alongside new city projects, private developments are helping to reshape the community, enhancing its appeal and solidifying its position as a vibrant destination.

Numerous investments are driving progress and creating new opportunities as Oakland Park approaches its second century:

BLYS. BLYS features elevated living on a 12-acre development on NE 6^th Avenue. The mixed-use project includes apartments, townhomes, and on-site amenities, including Sprouts Farmers Market and a scenic pedestrian trail along the Middle River.
Horizon. The Horizon of Oakland Park (HOOP) is an exciting mixed-use development planned for the current City Hall site. It will feature high-quality residential units, commercial space, a park, public parking, a future train stop, and a pedestrian-focused “living street.” The project aims to stimulate economic growth, support local businesses, and enhance walkability and sustainability.
Oak Tree. West of Prospect Road, this 140-acre development features 50 acres of open space, including 9.3 acres of public parkland and a fitness trail with a modern array of single-family homes and townhouses. This sought-after community is home to Oakland Park’s first million-dollar new construction property and is raising the bar for future high-quality residential projects.
Oaklyn. The Oaklyn is a sophisticated mixed-use development redefining a major gateway to Oakland Park. Featuring residential units, retail spaces, and public amenities, it creates a vibrant, walkable community hub while enhancing the urban landscape. This stunning project, with views of the city skyline and the Atlantic Ocean, has revitalized one of the city’s most visible corridors, welcoming residents and visitors to a thriving Oakland Park.
Parc. Parc Residences, steps from The Oaklyn, continues the effort to revitalize a key gateway to Oakland Park. This mixed-use development is under construction and will offer residential and commercial spaces and modern amenities, expanding opportunities for living and working close to the beach.
Sky Building. The Sky Building is a transformative mixed-use project located at Park Lane East and North Dixie Highway. Developed by NR Investments, it includes residential and commercial space to support local businesses and spur economic investment. The City of Oakland Park will move its municipal operations to the Sky Building in 2025, making it a landmark tenant.

Dark Matter Technologies announces planned CEO transition effective April 2025

Chief Revenue Officer Sean Dugan to assume CEO role, current CEO Rich Gagliano to serve as executive chairman

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 5, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter), an innovative leader in mortgage technology, today announced that Sean Dugan, the company’s chief revenue officer, will succeed Rich Gagliano as CEO effective April 2025. Gagliano, who launched Dark Matter in 2023 following over a decade of leadership at its predecessor, Black Knight Origination Technologies, will step into the role of executive chairman.

Photo caption: Chief Revenue Officer Sean Dugan to assume CEO role at Dark Matter.

For nearly 14 years, Gagliano has led the charge to transform mortgage origination with advanced automation and AI/ML solutions. More recently, Gagliano has helped Dark Matter find its footing as an independent company combining the agility of a startup with the pedigree of a mature and experienced provider. Gagliano’s vision for Dark Matter and the team he has assembled to execute on that vision have earned the confidence of banks, credit unions and mortgage lenders nationwide.

“I am incredibly proud of what we’ve built at Dark Matter, and I am confident the company’s best days are ahead,” said Gagliano. “After years of working with Sean, I have absolute confidence in his leadership and in his team’s readiness to execute on the strategy we’ve developed together. I look forward to supporting Sean and our clients as I transition to executive chairman, knowing that Dark Matter is in the most capable of hands.”

Gagliano’s decision to step down as CEO is part of a broader plan to spend more time with family, though he will remain actively involved as executive chairman to support Dugan, the team and clients during the transition.

Dugan brings over 25 years of mortgage industry expertise, including 14 years alongside Gagliano at Dark Matter and its predecessor. Known for his client-focused approach, Dugan has played a pivotal role in shaping Dark Matter’s customer-centric culture and product offerings. As CEO, he will lead the company into its next chapter, focusing on delivering solutions that enhance operational efficiency for lenders.

“Our clients are at the heart of everything we do,” said Dugan. “This transition represents an opportunity to double down on our commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that enable our clients to succeed in a challenging market. I’m honored by the trust Rich and Constellation Software’s leadership has placed in me, and I look forward to leading Dark Matter’s talented team in fulfilling our vision for the future of mortgage technology.”

This planned transition reinforces Dark Matter’s commitment to client success by ensuring continuity, stability and uninterrupted progress toward the company’s strategic roadmap and long-term goals.

RMA Hired by Town of Lake Park’s CRA for Professional Consulting Services

Firm to Execute Marketing, Communications and Public Relations Plan

POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Oct. 30, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The award-winning economic development firm, RMA (rma.us.com), is proud to have been selected by the Town of Lake Park’s Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to create a Marketing, Communications, and Public Relations Plan, which will further the goals outlined in the CRAs recently updated Master Plan. RMA has assembled a seasoned team of professionals who will collaborate closely with the CRA to develop a comprehensive strategy. This plan will showcase the district’s unique blend of historical charm and exciting development opportunities, attracting new businesses that perfectly complement Lake Park’s character.

Image caption: The Town of Lake Park.

“RMA is honored to once again be working with Lake Park,” said Sharon McCormick, Director of Business Attraction and Marketing. “In 2017, we assisted the Town with updating their Comprehensive Plan, which ushered in a new era of economic development in the area. Now, we are thrilled to embark on this new endeavor to establish the best marketing and communications strategies for this community in accordance with the updates in the CRA Master Plan.”

Over the next few weeks, the RMA team will engage with local officials, business leaders, and community members to gather valuable input for this comprehensive plan, which will encompass a range of strategies, including branding, style guide development, placemaking, business attraction, retention, and more.

Nestled along the picturesque Lake Worth Lagoon/Intracoastal Waterway, the Town of Lake Park offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern amenities. Incorporated in 1923 as Kelsey City, in honor of its founder, Harry Kelsey, the name was changed to the Town of Lake Park in 1939.

The community’s rich legacy is beautifully reflected in its stunning collection of historic homes. These architectural gems showcase the unique styles and craftsmanship of different eras, providing a glimpse into the past. Lake Park Town Hall, a Mediterranean Revival masterpiece, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as are many private residences.

While cherishing its heritage, Lake Park is emerging as a dynamic and thriving business hub. Renowned chef David Burke will soon open his inaugural Florida restaurant at Nautilus 220, a luxurious waterfront development, and the town was one of just 100 municipalities nationwide chosen to be visited by the National League of Cities during its recent centennial celebration. With approximately 9,000 residents and a bustling business sector within its 2.4 square miles, Lake Park is a vibrant community that seamlessly blends its rich history with a promising future.

Pure Polymer Solutions Employee Runs Critical Supplies to Hurricane Victims in Pinellas

TAMPA BAY, Fla., Oct. 16, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — As Hurricane Helene & Milton wreaked havoc across Florida’s Gulf Coast, employees at Pure Polymer Solutions (PPS) took extraordinary action. Nick Strazzulla, a lead water treatment specialist at PPS, requested special permission from the company’s founder, Bob Davis, to use a company boat to deliver emergency supplies and assist in rescue operations in some of the hardest-hit areas, including St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Barrier Island, and Boca Ciega.

Image caption: Nick Strazzulla delivering emergency supplies by boat in Tampa Bay.

With permission granted and the company supplying fuel, Nick and team spent their time tirelessly volunteering to help neighbors and Pinellas community members in need. Accompanied by two medically trained volunteers – EMT and Marine Haley Crippen, and Army Veteran Trisha Perez – Nick ran multiple rescue missions, providing much-needed aid to residents trapped by floodwaters.

Among the many people Nick and his team assisted was Joe Mestas, who was in urgent need of heart medication before an upcoming surgery. Joe had left Barrier Island to check on his sister’s dog, Taffy, and found himself unable to return home due to impassable roads. Nick’s quick action ensured that Joe received his medication, allowing him to proceed with his surgery.

In addition to delivering essential supplies like food, water, and fuel, Nick and his team performed wellness checks on dozens of stranded residents. They responded to distress signals from an online resource called “Need Rescue Pinellas,” which listed individuals who were trapped, some on their roofs. On one of the missions, Nick and team transported a stranded individual to the hospital.

“When I heard about the storm’s impact, I knew I had to do something,” said Nick. “It wasn’t a part of my job description, but these were my neighbors, my community, and they needed help.”

Nick’s dedication didn’t go unnoticed, though he has remained humble about his efforts. “Nick came to me with the idea; it wasn’t something we asked of him. He wanted to help, and we were more than happy to support him,” said Bob Davis, founder of Pure Polymer Solutions. “But if you ask Nick, he’ll say he didn’t do anything special.”

PPS CEO Mitchell Stocki commended Nick and the team, stating, “It’s actions like these that make our Greater Tampa Bay community great. We’re proud of Nick and the selflessness he displayed, even though he seeks no recognition.”

Nick’s selfless efforts, alongside Haley Crippen and Trisha Perez, are a testament to the spirit of the Tampa Bay community and the company values of Pure Polymer Solutions. The team worked around the clock, saving lives, delivering supplies, and offering hope to those in desperate need.

Pure Polymer Solutions is honored to have employees like Nick who embody the company’s commitment to community, integrity, and service.

eCaregivers Redefines Private-Pay Senior Home Care with Revolutionary Platform Empowering Families and Seniors

Empowering Families Through Affordable Care

MIAMI, Fla., Oct. 3, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — eCaregivers is an innovative online platform connecting families with private-pay Care Providers, offering a safe, transparent, reliable, and affordable alternative to traditional caregiving agencies. Designed for both Care Seekers and Providers (companions, aides, LPNs, RNs, PTs), it provides agency-quality tools and features with potential savings of up to 50%. As eCaregivers disrupts the senior caregiving industry, it seeks strategic investors to drive growth and expand its scalable platform, reshaping the future of private-pay home care services.

Image caption: Empowering Families Through Affordable Care.

According to AARP, over 10,000 U.S. citizens will turn 65 every day for the next five years, and 70% of them will need long-term care – the United States is facing a senior tsunami[*note 1]. When it comes to private-pay senior home care, families often rely on expensive agency care options or take risks with unreliable direct hires. eCaregivers has created a middle ground with a platform that prioritizes safety, affordability, and transparency.

In just ten minutes, Care Seekers and Care Providers can use the eCaregivers platform to create detailed online profiles, unlocking a comprehensive portal that empowers them to safely connect, communicate, and manage caregiving arrangements independently. Care Seekers can easily search for Care Providers at no cost or subscribe to conduct video interviews and perform thorough background checks, including criminal, professional, and driver’s license verifications. The platform also enables users to self-vet and schedule caregivers, arrange backup care (patent-pending), and receive real-time family GPS updates via text and email. With integrated timesheets, automated payments through Stripe or full W2 payroll processing, and a convenient split-billing option, families can efficiently manage all aspects of care within a 24/7 accessible portal, ensuring a smooth, user-friendly experience. eCaregivers’ innovative platform makes private-pay home care safer than the grey market, with potential savings of up to half the costs of a traditional agency.

One of eCaregivers’ standout features is the flexibility it offers Care Providers and Care Seekers in defining their employment relationship—whether as a 1099 independent contractor or a W2 employee. Regardless of the chosen arrangement, insurance coverage is included with a premium subscription, raising the bar for the direct-hire market to an agency-like level.

eCaregivers puts consumers in control without sacrificing safety, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a better home care solution. Their mission is to democratize home care by enabling families to save money while allowing Care Providers to set their own rates. By offering both parties the same advanced tools used by agencies, eCaregivers facilitates direct connections between users. Unlike other providers, users are not restricted by hourly minimums, contracts, or obligations.

“Our platform is a game-changer for families and seniors who want to take control of their care needs without the high costs and limitations of traditional agencies,” said George Koenig, Founder and CEO of eCaregivers. “We wanted to build something that truly helps seniors and families, allowing them to take control of their care needs in a way that is accessible and transparent. To bring our vision to the next level, we are actively seeking channel and investment partners who are passionate about transforming private-pay services for the better good. Interested partners can connect with us to explore this exciting opportunity.”

Now available nationwide, eCaregivers allows users to easily search for Care Providers by local zip code, including in Florida, where the platform has recently launched and is offering customized support for families.

Through her artwork, she celebrates our uniqueness and imperfections, highlighting our strengths and beauty.

Lauren Georgia

He studied at The Academie de Beaux Arts in Paris, collaborated with art collectives in Rome, and learned brush and breathing techniques in East Asia. His artwork has been featured in New York Magazine and Hi-Fructose Magazine. Honoring both his Italian heritage and the storytelling nature of his work, he signs his paintings "ALIGUORI."

Symphonii Smith-Kennedy

Symphonii Smith-Kennedy fostered her artistic exploration in painting and self-discovery during her education at New World School of the Arts and through her art studio with Zero Empty Spaces. She utilizes art to explore her identity as a Black queer woman in today's world, drawing on her experiences, imagination, and fascination with fantasy to influence her work.

Primarily an oil painter, she also uses other mediums to create sequential narratives influenced by Afro-centric culture and fantasy. While painting is her main focus, Smith-Kennedy's aspirations bridge the gap between fine art, illustration, and entrepreneurship.

Dark Matter Technologies’ Product Evangelist Craig Rebmann honored with 2024 HW Insiders Award

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter), an innovative leader in mortgage technology backed by time-tested loan origination software and leadership, today announced that Craig Rebmann, its product evangelist, has been named a 2024 HW Insider. Now in its ninth year, the HW Insiders program recognizes talented operations professionals laying the foundation of success for their organizations.

Rebmann was hand-selected by Dark Matter's CEO Rich Gagliano to lead the Empower product integration team in 2011, back when the loan origination system (LOS) had far fewer clients and was in need of a new direction. Over the next 12 years, Rebmann played a critical role in helping transform Empower into the most advanced and one of the most-used core origination technologies, now used by more than 80 lenders. Never one to rest on his laurels, today Rebmann continues to wield great influence as product evangelist, where he works hand-in-glove with Dark Matter Technologies' sales engineers to provide lenders with solutions tailored to their unique business models.

Equipped with exceptional knowledge and passion for Dark Matter's products, Rebmann was appointed product evangelist in 2023. In this role, Rebmann is now passing that product enthusiasm and inquisitiveness on to the Dark Matter sales team. Craig and his team regularly educate sales about product enhancements and best practice applications. He accompanies sales engineers on product demos, delving into lenders' business models and challenges to provide a consultative experience.

During his tenure leading product, Rebmann's notable accomplishments include bringing to market automated, task-based workflows that transform back-office productivity (also known as the Orchestration Engine); building out a more robust integration with the Exchange integration hub; and developing correspondent lending functionality within Empower.

"We are fortunate to have Craig guiding development decisions. His lengthy experience with Empower provides us with valuable insight to help Dark Matter's product and technology specialists identify the needs of customers and match them with the right solutions," said Dark Matter CEO Rich Gagliano. "His honesty, work ethic and enthusiasm encapsulate Dark Matter's values and are setting the table for a very bright future. We are so pleased he chose to join us when he did."

"The HousingWire Insiders honorees are the operational leaders who are the backbones of their organizations - driving innovation and efficiency, and creating opportunities for their organizations," said Clayton Collins, CEO of HW Media. "By improving user experiences, identifying market opportunities, and developing efficient processes, these outstanding individuals are propelling their organizations toward sustained growth and excellence."
