City Center
Activities for FY 21 / 22
In March 2022 , the City took ownership of the Securities and Exchange Commission Receiver-held parcels at City Center in eastern Port St . Lucie . This acquisition allows for a more comprehensive development vision to be created for this area along U . S . Highway 1 . Soon after , the City engaged the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council to facilitate creating a master plan for City Center . With the help of financial consultants and Event Center analysts , the project team swiftly moved into a due diligence phase gathering data on the site and from stakeholders and focus groups . A series of online public input surveys are planned for the Fall , as well as the first public visioning workshop , planned for December 7th at MIDFLORIDA Event Center . City leaders look forward to hearing more feedback on how residents envision the future of City Center in the coming year .
Creating a path forward along the Village Green Drive Corridor
With the Village Green Drive Corridor Master Plan well received and adopted by City Council in Summer 2021 , but limited funding available , CRA and Public Works staff are moving forward with the design of an integral piece of the plan : the Hog Pen Slough Boardwalk Trail . This is just one component of the overall Master Plan which is intended to stimulate economic development , further connecting the community , and will make for a safer , more walkable pedestrian and bicycle environment along the Village Green Drive corridor . In addition , this area has long been identified as a microbial hotspot and enhancements to the Hog Pen Slough itself will help to reduce pollutants and improve flood control in eastern Port St . Lucie .
