Pilot Program staff and construction experts have started home assessments. They will recommend acoustical improvements to the home owner. These improvements may include the installation of sound insulation and upgrades.
In April, the Broward County Board of County Commissioners directed the Aviation Department to forward the Proposed Draft Noise Mitigation Plan to the City of Dania Beach. View the Draft Noise Mitigation Plan.

Painted Garden is a selection of works from Allen's Garden Series. These lyrical botanical abstractions are created with paint, and print and stitch to bring freshness to the ancient form of landscape painting. The use of living plant materials from her tropical garden is an integral part of Allen’s creative process. The experience of growing and nurturing these plants is as important to the artwork's meaning as is painting and stitching the final composition. Her goal is to create artworks that stimulate memory, evoke emotion, and communicate the importance of co-existence in harmony with nature.
The Lee Wagener Art Gallery offers Broward County artists an opportunity to exhibit their work in a prominent, high-traffic area in Terminal 2 that is accessible to the public. Artists are selected through the Public Art & Design Program and exhibits are changed every four months. The far end of the gallery has been reserved for the exhibition of video artworks from Broward County’s permanent art collection. At present, Tree-Rain, by Broward-based artists Suzanne Scherer and Pavel Ouporov, has been installed as the permanent video artwork.
For more information, contact Christina Roldan, Public Art and Design Project Manager, at 954-357-8542 or e-mail croldan@broward.org.

Chef Allen shared his culinary expertise with travelers last month in Terminal 3. The Delaware North Companies hosted the event.
Chef Allen’s interpretation of South Florida cooking is an important contribution to American culinary craftsmanship, and has won him accolades from prominent food writers. Food and Wine named him a top 10 New Chef in America in 1991. Time magazine called Allen's cuisine "a New World marvel.” The New York Times named Allen Susser "the Ponce de Leon of New Floridian cooking.”

homeowners completed applications for the Voluntary Residential Sound
Insulation Pilot Program. The goal of this Pilot Program is to assist in the
development of a Noise Mitigation Plan. The Pilot Program is designed to
reduce aircraft-generated noise in homes within Federal Aviation
Administration designated areas surrounding the airport.

Division’s Public Art and Design Program opened the exhibition Painted
Garden, by artist Katherine K. Allen, at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood
International Airport earlier this month. The exhibition in the Lee Wagener
