Coral Springs’ own Andrew Torgashev is heading to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina as a member of Team USA.

 

Torgashev’s stunning silver medal finish at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships secured his Olympic spot, joining Ilia Malinin and Maxim Naumov on the team.

 

Guided from childhood by his Soviet skater parents, Ilona Melnichenko and Artem Torgashev, Andrew began skating in Coral Springs at age nine, always dreaming of this moment.

 

After battling injuries, he relocated to California to train under Olympic coach Rafael Arutyunyan, aiming to elevate his artistry and technical skills.

 

Now, bringing emotional depth to every performance, Torgashev readies himself for the world stage, while his hometown community beams with pride and anticipation.

Coral Springs is moving forward with a bold $205 million plan to modernize its water infrastructure over the next decade.

 

The centerpiece is a new $101 million water treatment plant designed to deliver cleaner, safer drinking water for residents.

 

This cutting-edge facility will use advanced membranes to replace the aging lime-softening technology and is expected to serve up to 12 million gallons of water daily.

 

As part of its commitment to public health, the city will also install a $150 million nanofiltration system to remove hazardous PFAS “forever chemicals.”

 

These upgrades support Coral Springs’ Vision 2035 for sustainable growth and signal a strong dedication to resident well-being.

 

The extensive improvements will roll out in phases, with city leaders providing regular updates and ensuring minimal service disruption during construction.

 

This initiative secures a healthier, sustainable water future for Coral Springs families.

Lupin, a global pharmaceutical leader, will establish a cutting-edge $250 million manufacturing facility in Coral Springs, Florida, aiming to create more than 200 skilled jobs in Broward County by 2030.

Christoph Funke, Lupin’s Chief Technical Operations Officer, highlighted this expansion as a key part of the company’s growth, building on its strong presence in Florida.

Set to break ground in February 2027, the upgraded plant will treat up to 12 million gallons daily, supporting the city’s growing population.

 

Alongside this, a comprehensive Stormwater Master Plan will evaluate and upgrade drainage systems, aiming to reduce flooding and address rising groundwater concerns.

 

The Coral Springs Improvement District is also removing 150 trees from canal banks to prevent storm debris blockages.

 

Through these bold steps, Coral Springs is reinforcing its commitment to reliable service and proactive environmental stewardship, ensuring residents benefit from continuous, high-quality water access.

In Coral Springs, major storefront upgrades and building revitalizations often result from meticulous economic development strategies.

 

At the heart of these efforts is the Economic Development Incentive Program, which encourages property owners to invest in visible improvements.

 

This initiative offers partial reimbursements for qualified exterior renovations, including facade updates and impact-resistant windows, supporting the city’s vision for a more attractive commercial landscape.

 

Recent examples include a $50,000 grant awarded to Perfumania in Coral Square Mall in March 2025, helping to fund a modern 20-foot shopfront and boost the mall’s visual appeal.

 

The City Village project, unveiled in May 2025, promises 300 new residences and vibrant retail space, projected to generate $63 million in tax revenue over three decades.

 

These targeted investments illustrate Coral Springs’ steady commitment to economic growth and improved quality of life for the community.

The enhancements support the city’s push for healthier, more connected neighborhoods.

 

With a project budget of about $345,000, most funding comes from a federal Community Development Block Grant, while the city’s Public Art Fund covers the rest—ensuring no property tax dollars are used for public art.

 

A standout addition will be "Wild Connections," a bronze sculpture by Gillie and Marc, featuring a panther, bobcat, eagle, turtle, and rabbit—championing local wildlife and encouraging community imagination.
