The coronavirus pandemic could have been exponentially worse if not for the efforts of Palm Beach employees to keep residents safe, Mayor Danielle Moore said in her first state-of-the-town address last week.
Speaking to members of the Palm Beach Civic Association during its annual meeting April 30, Moore praised public safety leaders for their response to the global health crisis that has taken the lives of almost 580,000 Americans, including 13 island residents.
"We are at the end of what has surely been one of the worst years of our lives — whether those lives have been long or short — with a deadly pandemic compounded by political divisiveness and unprecedented violence," Moore told association members, who watched her address virtually.
