A new season of The Weston Way is here, and we’re kicking things off with a look at the exciting events happening in Weston this fall!
The Weston story was never just about becoming a city. It was about building a place people would be proud to call home. In the final episode of Weston at 30: A History Podcast, we explore the story behind City Hall, the creation of Regional Park, and the early employees who helped establish a culture built around excellence, professionalism and service to residents. 30 years. Four episodes. One Weston story.
Becoming a city was one thing. Making it work was another.
The votes were counted. Weston was officially a city. Now came the hard part — building one. In Episode 2, John R. Flint, Weston’s first City Manager, takes us inside the early days of the new City — from establishing local leadership and holding Weston’s first municipal election to making the decisions that would shape how the City operated and served its residents. How do you build a city government from the ground up? Who leads it? And how do you turn a vote for self-government into a functioning municipality? 30 years. Four episodes. One Weston story.
Every city has a beginning, but Weston’s story started long before its incorporation in 1996. In Episode 1 of Weston at 30: A History Podcast, Pam Soloman, Assistant Director of Communications for the City of Weston and former City Manager John R. Flint take us back to those early days and share the stories, people and pivotal moments that set Weston on the path to incorporation. How did an undeveloped piece of South Florida become a carefully planned community? What helped shape the vision for Weston? And how did that vision eventually lead to the creation of a new city? Go beyond the dates and discover how the Weston we know today began to take shape — from someone who was there to see it happen. 30 years. Four episodes. One Weston story.
