Unincorporated Become Incorporated In Florida

"Friday's the day when pockets of unincorporated areas and their populations of nearly 10,000 people will become parts of five cities. This leaves just 14,190 people still living in unincorporated areas. When a concerted push to incorporate or annex all of Broward -- except some large county facilities -- into cities by 2010 began in 1996, nearly 150,000 people were living in nearly 60 unincorporated areas, the largest being Weston."

The county is being praised for its good rational planning measures as residents are now able to obtain basic services such as garbage collection from the cities they are now a part of. The brunt of providing services is gradually being taken off the shoulders of the county, which many believe will now function more efficiently.
