Dom Vargas Attends COBWRA Delegates Meeting, Stands with Residents Against Annexation.
Boynton Beach, FL — Yesterday, Dom Vargas, candidate for Boynton Beach City Commission District 3, attended the Coalition of Boynton West Residential Associations (COBWRA) delegates meeting, standing alongside residents to discuss the future of Boynton Beach and his commitment to responsible, community-focused leadership.
The meeting highlighted widespread community concerns about the city’s annexation plan, which proposes adding 38 communities to the city and generating $23 million in annual tax revenue. Vargas emphasized the importance of ensuring that any future decisions prioritize fairness, inclusivity, and sustainable growth.
“Annexation raises important questions about how we ensure every voice in Boynton Beach is heard,” Vargas stated. “It’s critical that we address our existing challenges—such as infrastructure, resources, and representation—before taking on new responsibilities.”
A recent editorial in The Palm Beach Post pointed to the city’s aging infrastructure, including the failure of a sewage lift station, as a reminder of the need to focus on strengthening Boynton Beach’s current systems. Vargas echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of addressing core community issues before expanding boundaries.
“This is an opportunity to focus on building a Boynton Beach that works for everyone,” Vargas continued. “It’s about ensuring that our leadership is proactive, thoughtful, and always guided by what’s best for our residents.”
As the election approaches, Vargas is committed to continuing conversations with organizations like COBWRA and residents across the city to ensure that Boynton Beach remains a strong, united community.
“This election is about choosing leadership that listens, acts responsibly, and works to make our community stronger,” Vargas concluded. “Together, we can meet the challenges we face today and build a brighter future for Boynton Beach.”
The meeting underscored widespread resistance to annexation, which would add 38 communities to the city and generate $23 million in annual tax revenue. While proponents claim the plan is about growth, Vargas revealed the true incentive behind the push: political survival.
