" 'This is the first major development to take place in Coral Springs in 40 years,' said Coral Springs resident John Ruffin, chairman of the city's CRA.

The project, with 96,000 square feet of commercial and retail space, is the first of a series aimed at transforming the bleak intersection into a pedestrian-oriented downtown."
