🏢 Business News: Broward on the Rise

The push to rebrand “Broward County” as “Lauderdale County.”
Commissioner Michael Udine and Rep. Chip LaMarca pitched the idea to boost tourism and name recognition — think Miami-Dade’s transformation back in the ‘90s.

But after spirited public feedback, the vote was tabled on Nov 13, turning this into more of a lively community debate than a done deal. Classic Broward!

Health highlight: Broward Health + Memorial Healthcare System launched “22 Health,” an ACA marketplace plan beginning in 2026 covering 11 hospitals — huge win for local families.

Between events like the Social Impact Council Breakfast on Nov 5 and new commercial developments popping up, Broward continues to shine as a place where innovation meets community.
