Hollywood
The City of Hollywood, Florida is a mature built-out City in southeast Broward County. Nestled between Fort Lauderdale and Miami, Hollywood is characterized by its quaint neighborhoods; a booming central business district with arts and entertainment, shopping and dining in the Downtown Community Redevelopment Agency; and, in the Beach Community Redevelopment Agency, Florida's only oceanfront "broadwalk" where no traffic can come between beachgoers and the Atlantic Ocean's calm and inviting tropical waters.
Founded in 1925, the City's mission is to "provide municipal services for our diverse community in an atmosphere of cooperation, courtesy and respect. We do this by ensuring all who live, work and play in the City of Hollywood enjoy a High Quality of Life." Hollywood has grown to over 28 square miles with six miles of beach and is known for its top-notch schools, award-winning parks, recreation and cultural programs, diversity, and economic and redevelopment projects. In addition, the City has an outstanding team of employees who are guided by the City Manager's Strategic Plan. The Plan is a blueprint for each employee to develop innovative, efficient and cost effective ways to enhance service delivery and their job performance.
Hollywood has steadily grown into a dynamic business hub with more than 10,000 companies in the City. Approximately 80 percent of Port Everglades, the world’s second-busiest cruise port, is located in Hollywood and the port is home to Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas and Oasis of the Seas, the largest cruise liners in the world. Hollywood also provides easy access to Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport and Miami International Airport, a major gateway to Latin America.
