Activities for FY 20 / 21
Southern Grove Master Plan
Known as Port St . Lucie ’ s jobs corridor , Southern Grove is one of Florida ’ s unique job opportunity areas for large-scale manufacturing , logistics and retail development . It has the largest swath of development-ready vacant land in South Florida that fronts more than 4 miles of Interstate 95 , with interchanges at both Tradition Parkway and Becker Road . City staff has been working hard to recruit new jobs and home builders to this area . At the same time , the City recognized this area needed an overall plan to guide its development . Therefore , as a result in February 2021 , City Council adopted the Southern Grove Master Plan . This plan is intended to build upon the City ’ s prior planning efforts and reorganize the land uses and infrastructure to produce a more sustainable , economically viable development program . The plan has several key goals :
• Develop a jobs corridor for the City that generates economic benefits and net new jobs ;
• Create an integrated , multimodal and pedestrian-friendly transportation network that provides internal connectivity and access ;
• Maintain an efficient water and sewer system with sufficient capacity and redundancy ;
• Provide an interconnected master stormwater system to maintain appropriate lake levels , enhance natural systems , efficiently use the land and enhance aesthetics ;
• Complement surrounding neighborhoods and districts ;
• Help establish a strong “ sense of place ” and identity for the City .
