March 2021 Update from the Coral Springs City Commission

The Coral Springs City Commission

From the Coral Springs City Commission:

Exactly one year ago, our lives were dramatically changed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.  It was in March 2020 that we saw our first COVID-19 case confirmed in Florida and declared a State of Emergency for the City of Coral Springs.

COVID-19 Vaccine

We quickly shifted our focus to the health, safety, and welfare of the community – especially our most vulnerable citizens. One year later, our attention remains on the virus, but our efforts have shifted to the mass distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine.

We are proud to have opened a vaccine distribution site at the Coral Square Mall and implemented a mobile distribution plan to include senior living communities, homebound seniors, and underserved communities. To date, we have administered about 31,000 doses. Appointments for COVID-19 vaccination sites for seniors ages 65 and older and frontline healthcare workers are scheduled through the State of Florida website myvaccine.fl.gov or by calling (866) 201-6313, for TTY use (844) 252-2003.

Women’s History Month

March is Women’s History Month, and in the City of Coral Springs, we are excited to celebrate women for their outstanding contributions to our city through the newly launched ‘Her Story’ campaign. We encourage our residents and local business owners to highlight other inspirational women in our community who are making an impact in our city or influencing others by using #HerStoryCS on social media with all the ways the nominee has contributed positively to Coral Springs. Photos and feature stories will be shared on our social media platforms and city website throughout the month of March.

New Website and Social Media

We are excited to announce the launch of our city’s newly designed website. The city recognizes coralsprings.org as the digital front door to the services we provide our citizens and businesses. This digital transformation makes it convenient to access City Hall virtually 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

In addition to the newly designed website, we are proud to announce the launch of our official social media accounts! To better serve our community, we use social media accounts as an added outlet for city business conversations and engagement with residents. You can follow us on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook! Mayor Scott Brook @CSCommissioner1, Vice Mayor Joshua Simmons @CSCommissioner4, Commissioner Shawn Cerra @CSCommissioner2, Commissioner Nancy Metayer @CSCommissioner3, and Commissioner Joy Carter @CSCommissioner5.
