Plantation Gateway was established in 1988 as a Safe Neighborhood Improvement District pursuant to Chapter 87-243, Section 59, Florida Statutes (as amended) entitled Safe Neighborhood Act. Under the Act, the City completed a “Safe Neighborhood Master Plan” that supported and enabled the City to establish a special taxing district and utilize a maximum of two mills ad valorem tax on real property within the district. The City pursued this strategy in order to obtain additional State and local financial resources to address public safety and set the stage for the redevelopment of State Road 7.

The District is located in eastern Plantation along the State Road 7 corridor and bounded on the north, south and east by the municipal boundary and on the west by the commercially zoned property.
