A Message from
Mayor Michael J. Ryan


This coming year, the City of Sunrise celebrates a 50th birthday. As we enter the next decade, our vibrant neighborhoods and exciting business opportunities uniquely position the City of Sunrise during these challenging economic times.

With 11 public schools, some of the nation's most visited attractions, an ever-expanding park system and an infrastructure that makes Sunrise accessible to surrounding communities near and far, Sunrise is where people want to live, work, play and retire. The large number of long-term residents and businesses serve as a powerful endorsement for our City's prosperity and future.

We are bringing together the best our City has to offer so that Sunrise will be a great home for you, your family, and your business.

Our focus on small businesses will inspire entrepreneurs to build their dreams in Sunrise and create jobs in our City. Our economic development opportunities will continue to motivate corporate headquarters to re-locate for the benefit of their businesses, employees, and customers. Our parks will encourage you to enjoy the outdoors and bask in the beauty of our environment. Our network of City services help our young-at-heart residents make the most of what our community has to offer. Our recreational sport leagues offer families fun programs in a nurturing environment, creating memories for a lifetime.

The improvements in technology have also allowed more people to be involved in our City and obtain answers more easily from different departments. From online permit inquiries to live-streamed City Commission meetings, we are thinking each day how to be more transparent and responsive to the people of Sunrise. Building on those successes, we will continue to expand our ability to serve the residents and businesses in Sunrise during the age of ever-improving technology.

Our advisory boards are an outlet for many more residents to become more involved and provide the City guidance through focused attention in unique areas of interest. No matter your interest, there is some way for you to be part of our City and to help guide the City.

As we bring our City together, I hope you will join an amazing team dedicated to being the best City for all residents, businesses, and visitors.
