the City’ s Strategic Plan at record-breaking Citizen Summit

The 2025 # IamPSL Citizen Summit welcomed more than 1,000 residents to the Port St. Lucie Community Center, setting a new attendance record for the annual event.
Designed as an interactive, family-friendly experience, the Citizen Summit invites residents to share their ideas, vote on priorities and learn how their feedback directly shapes the City’ s Strategic Plan.
One powerful example of this impact was the launch of the Naturally PSL Green Spaces & Places initiative, which was born from community input at the 2023 Citizen Summit after residents prioritized greater access to parks and preserves. Naturally PSL was launched at the 2025 Citizen Summit, allowing attendees to see the idea come to life and learn how the City is using innovative, resident-driven strategies to expand green space access.
The Citizen Summit is more than a public meeting; it’ s a hands-on opportunity for residents of all ages to cocreate the future of Port St. Lucie. Their voices continue to guide investments, shape programs and strengthen the connection between local government and the community it serves.
