FLORIDA’S HOLLYWOOD
Many years ago, the City of Hollywood was dubbed a “City of the Future” because its diversity most resembled what experts predicted all of America would look like in 2025. Hollywood was proud of this distinction back then, and as we rapidly approach 2025, the City celebrates its rich diversity, embracing its reputation as a welcoming community where people of all backgrounds and beliefs feel comfortable.
We are proud to announce that Hollywood has earned a perfect 100 score on the Human Rights Campaign’s Municipal Equality Index (MEI) for 2021. The MEI evaluates how inclusive municipal laws, policies, and services are of LGBTQ+ residents and employees. The ratings are based on non-discrimination laws, the municipality as an employer, municipal services, law enforcement, and leadership on LGBTQ+ equality.
Hollywood is a great place to live, work, and play, and offers easy access to the best of South Florida while still preserving the hometown charm that makes it unique. With more than six miles of blue wave beaches, a historic oceanfront Broadwalk, and an eclectic downtown with one-of-a-kind restaurants, shops and art galleries, Hollywood truly has something for everyone.
Hollywood and its Community Redevelopment Agency recognize that small businesses are the foundation for strong communities and the City is proud to partner with the GFLGLCC to promote the success and growth of business enterprises that share the values of inclusivity and equality of opportunity for all.
Hollywood was founded in the 1920s by a visionary leader who wanted to create a dream city by the sea that would be a place for everyone. The future is bright in Hollywood as it strives to be a dream destination for visitors, residents and business owners. We want to help you find your future in Florida’s Hollywood.
Sincerely,
Josh Levy Mayor of Hollywood
