27th annual senior holiday basket drive
Public Works kicking off 2025
Happy New Year from the Public Works Department , which oversees City resources that manage the planning , design , construction and maintenance of City infrastructure and various facilities . This includes roads and bridges , water quality and drainage , traffic operations , landscaping and emergency management .
Public Works had many accomplishments in 2024 , including being named Department of the Year by the City . We look forward to continuing to be stewards of our community and helping make the City of Port St . Lucie a great place to live .
Several of our Public Works staff will be at the upcoming Citizen Summit . We look forward to talking to residents , collecting feedback and answering questions at the Citizen Summit on Feb . 1 at the Port St . Lucie Community Center . We hope to see you there !
Each year , City employees from all departments come together to give back by collecting items for seniors in need during the holiday season . In collaboration with the Council on Aging and a local veterans group , we were able to deliver 22 holiday gift boxes that brought warmth and joy to local seniors .
These boxes contained food and other nonperishable items , as well as blankets , puzzles , lotions and other thoughtful gifts . All items were generously donated by City employees . This annual drive has become a wonderful opportunity for departments to have fun , work together , and positively impact our community . This heartwarming initiative would not be possible without the cooperative support of all departments , leadership and dedicated City employees .
We look forward to continuing this tradition each year . Thank you to everyone who supported and donated . Your contributions and commitment made a meaningful difference and the recipients were deeply appreciative of the donations . www . CityofPSL . com / PublicWorks
