    City of Palm Coast Hosts Final Community Engagement Session for Prosperity 2035 Vision Plan

    The City of Palm Coast invites residents, business owners, and community leaders to attend the final community engagement session for the Community-Driven Economic Development Vision Plan, Prosperity 2035, on Thursday, January 15, from 6–8 p.m. at the Palm Coast Community Center, 305 Palm Coast Parkway NE. The meeting is free and open to the public.

    This final session will give the community an opportunity to learn what was heard throughout the engagement process led by the Northeast Florida Regional Council (NEFRC). Attendees will hear a summary of key themes, priorities, and feedback gathered from residents and stakeholders, and will have the opportunity to provide final input before the plan is finalized.

    Residents are also reminded that the Prosperity 2035 Community Survey remains open through January 15. The survey is a critical part of the process and provides an easy way for community members to share their priorities, even if they are unable to attend the meeting in person. The survey can be accessed at https://www.menti.com/alczumkgrbdq.

    Following the conclusion of the engagement process, the final Prosperity 2035 results and recommendations will be presented to the Palm Coast City Council in April 2026, helping guide future economic development decisions and initiatives.

    The Prosperity 2035 initiative is focused on strengthening Palm Coast’s economic future while preserving the quality of life that makes the city a great place to live, work, and do business.

    Fannie and Freddie Empowered to Support Middle-Class Homeownership

    Washington, D.C. – Today U.S. Federal Housing issued a final rule that establishes new, better affordable housing goals for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Thanks to this fix, Fannie and Freddie will continue to fully support mortgages for families from every walk of life. 

    “For too long, Biden distorted the housing market with harmful mandates that prioritized government quotas at the expense of middle-class families,” said Director William J. Pulte. “Thanks to President Trump, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will now focus on supporting affordable homeownership for all Americans while fulfilling their statutory duties.”

    The 2026–2028 Enterprise Housing Goals final rule can be found here.

    The Federal Housing Finance Agency regulates Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the 11 Federal Home Loan Banks. These government-sponsored enterprises provide more than $8.5 trillion in funding for the U.S. mortgage markets and financial institutions.
