Jupiter opens comments on next year's CDBG plan
Residents have until June 15 to weigh in before a June 16 public hearing.
Jupiter's proposed Community Development Block Grant Annual Action Plan for 2026-27 is now in its public-comment window, which runs through Monday, June 15. The town posted the public notice May 11 and says the plan covers its expected annual CDBG allocation from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The notice gives residents more than a vague invitation to comment. Jupiter says it anticipates receiving $327,086 for program year 2026-27, with $261,669 proposed for residential rehabilitation for seniors and $65,417 for program administration. The senior-rehabilitation line is described as assistance for low- to moderate-income senior homeowners in town, including roof replacement and/or windows and doors. The town notes that proposed budgets may be proportionally adjusted once HUD provides final allocation amounts.
Comments can be submitted to Neighborhood Services at SatuO@jupiter.fl.us or 196 Military Trail. Residents can also review and comment on the plan during business hours at Town of Jupiter Neighborhood Services, 196 Military Trail. Before adoption, the Town Council will hold a public hearing Tuesday, June 16, at 7 p.m. in Town Hall Council Chambers, 210 Military Trail.
Fire-code update gets two council hearing dates
The town has June 2 and June 16 hearings scheduled at Town Hall.
A separate town notice puts a fire-code zoning text amendment on the June public-hearing calendar. The notice says the amendment would update Chapter 10 of the Town Code, covering Fire Prevention and Protection, to adopt the Florida Fire Prevention Code and Uniform Fire Safety Standards.
The next public dates are Tuesday, June 2, and Tuesday, June 16, both at 7 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the Municipal Complex, 210 Military Trail. The April 30 notice also lists the Planning and Zoning Commission date from May 12. For residents or business owners who want to follow the ordinance before it moves, the practical point is simple: the town has two council readings listed, and the notice directs people to check the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council agendas for supporting documentation before the meetings.
Jupiter Park Drive work is a six-month road project
The town says drivers should expect lane closures near Central Boulevard.
Drivers around Jupiter Park Drive should treat the road work at Central Boulevard as a months-long project, not a one-day inconvenience. The town says the project began Monday, April 20, and is designed to improve safety and traffic flow at the intersection.
The work includes extending the eastbound right-turn lane, installing new stormwater drainage, repaving the road, and adding curbing and swales. The first phase includes vegetation removal along the south side of the road, followed by embankment improvements and landscaping. As the project moves into roadway work, single-lane closures are expected and flaggers will be on site. The town says the project should take about six months, so anyone who uses that stretch regularly should build in extra time and use caution as conditions shift.
Huey Magoo's files permits for a Jupiter location
The chicken-tender chain is planned for Indiantown Road, but no opening date is announced.
Huey Magoo's is planned for Jupiter, but this is still a permit-stage restaurant item. What Now Miami reported April 29 that TSH Jupiter LLC recently filed permit applications with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation for 6390 W. Indiantown Road #47.
That address would put the chain in the Indiantown Road corridor and fill a regional gap for the brand. What Now says no opening timeline has been announced, so it is too early to plan a meal around it. The useful part for now is the location and stage of the project: permits are moving, the concept is a fast-casual chicken-tender chain, and the reported Jupiter address is specific enough to track as it moves through the process.
Cuban dance classes run back-to-back tonight
The Community Center has intro and Level 1 sessions on Thursday evening.
The Jupiter Community Center has two related Cuban dance classes on the town calendar tonight, Thursday, May 28. Intro to Cuban Dances runs from 5:45 to 6:45 p.m., followed by Level 1 Casino Foundations from 6:45 to 7:45 p.m. Both are at the Jupiter Community Center, 200 Military Trail.
The listing describes the classes as a way to learn Cuban salsa, meet people, and understand why the dance has become a worldwide draw. The instructors are Yusell Garcia, a professional dancer from Camaguey, Cuba with more than 25 years of performing and teaching experience, and Cheri Shanti, author of The Breath of Cuba, who lived in Cuba and ran tours there while studying culture and dance from 2015 to 2020. No partner is required. The listed resident/nonresident fee is $90/$113 for a five-class pass that can be used across all three Casino classes.
Civil Air Patrol cadets meet at Jupiter Community Park
The free Thursday evening program listing says parents and families are welcome.
Families curious about the Civil Air Patrol Cadet Program can stop by Jupiter Community Park, 1201 Island Way, tonight from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The town calendar lists the cost as none and says parents and families are welcome.
The description frames the program around cadet development, aviation and space education, and life-saving and humanitarian missions. It also identifies CAP as the volunteer, nonprofit auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force. That makes the listing useful for families who want a low-pressure first look: the calendar item does not ask readers to decode a signup process, and it gives enough detail to understand the focus before showing up.
Chair Yoga returns Friday morning
The class is built around seated and standing movement at the Community Center.
For a gentler Friday morning option, Chair Yoga is listed for May 29 from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the Jupiter Community Center. The town describes it as a class for calming the mind, increasing flexibility, and improving strength and balance without getting down on the floor.
The format uses range-of-motion exercises while seated or standing with a chair for support, then ends with meditation. The listed resident/nonresident cost is $80/$100 for a 10-class pass, so this reads more like an ongoing wellness class than a one-off drop-in. If you have been looking for a lower-impact class that does not require floor work, this is the one on the town calendar this week.
