📰 News we're reading
• Rare sea turtle seen nesting on Florida beach for first time ever (tcpalm.com) — Researchers based at Juno Beach’s Loggerhead Marinelife Center have documented Florida’s first-ever nesting of a rare olive ridley sea turtle, filmed May 18 on a nearby Jupiter beach. They’ll monitor the nest, collect genetic samples after hatching, and say warming oceans may be opening new nesting areas, underscoring why our local beaches and lighting rules matter for sea turtle protection. 
• For one small town in Palm Beach County, one big condo building means one big tax boost (wlrn.org) — Juno Beach’s taxable property value now stands at about $2.76 billion, with $13.2 million in new construction helping shape future town budgets and tax bills. A Lake Park condo tower leads county growth, while statewide debates over homestead exemptions could eventually change how much Juno Beach homeowners pay for local services.
• Jupiter makes history as 91 firefighters take oath for town's first-ever fire department (wflx.com) — Juno Beach residents will soon be served by a brand-new neighboring fire department as Jupiter launches its first-ever Jupiter Fire Rescue with 91 firefighters sworn in. Many of the new hires are longtime Jupiter locals, and a new Station 10 on U.S. 1 opens with a ribbon-cutting Wednesday, expanding professional fire coverage along the north county coast.
