Our Mission Statement
The Beaches Town Center Agency is a nonprofit, volunteer board that works for the improvement of the Atlantic Beach/Neptune Beach Central Business District, preserving the unique character of two traditional seaside neighborhoods joined by a cultural town center for the enjoyment of residents, visitors and merchants.
Our History
In 1991, Beaches Town Center Agency was formed by a few citizens in our community. The goal was to make the area more inviting and pedestrian friendly with major enhancements in landscaping, and public amenities including park benches, bike racks and beautiful brick sidewalks.
The Agency’s initial efforts were to raise funds for improvements to the Atlantic & Neptune Beach Central Business District. More than 20 years later, the all volunteer, BTC Agency board reinvests 100% of proceeds to ongoing projects and improvement to the AB & NB Central Business District.
Fundraising efforts include the sale of engraved bricks, the Dancin in the Street™ Festival, The Beaches Tour of Homes, BTC Golf Classic and private donations.
The BTC Agency coordinates the popular “Season of Lights” holiday display in cooperation with the cities of AB & NB.
