City of West Palm Beach, FL

"Yesterday, as a panelist at this year's 2025 Smart City Expo, I had the opportunity to share the story of West Palm Beach. Together, our great City embraces a style that prioritizes local problem-solving, public-private collaboration, and strategic investments in the City's future. Through our focus on public safety, affordable and workforce housing, empowering our philanthropic sector, and creating an entrepreneurial culture, West Palm Beach is putting power in the hands of those who best understand our challenges — local leaders, businesses, and civil institutions. This allows us to drive real results quickly and effectively. The panel discussion with Stephen Ross, CEO of Related Ross, and Aarti Tandon, CEO of Smart City Expo USA, provided great insight into our City — and I was proud to represent West Palm Beach on a global stage!" — Mayor Keith A.
