Roads & Projects
The final phase of the Floresta Drive Improvement Project is about to begin . Phase 2 of the project to improve the Floresta Drive corridor is wrapping up and we anticipate beginning Phase 3 this spring . This critical project has been made possible thanks to the Half-Cent Sales Tax that voters approved in 2018 .
Construction of the final segment of Tom Mackie Boulevard , as well as Marshall Parkway east of SW Village Parkway , started in early January . The project will provide much-needed infrastructure for the Southern Grove Jobs Corridor . Once constructed , this spine road will connect with Anthony F . Sansone Jr . Boulevard within the Jobs Corridor and will provide a dedicated travel route for commercial vehicles , keeping most of the traffic off SW Village Parkway .

Love Your Block Kicks Off
A new program will provide residents of the Whispering Pines neighborhood with mini-grants that can create large-scale impacts .

Love Your Block is a program established in partnership with the Bloomberg Center for Public Innovation at Johns Hopkins University . In May 2024 , the City announced it received $ 100,000 in funding for the Love Your Block program , as one of 16 cities selected nationwide . Eligible applicants can apply for mini-grants of up to $ 1,500 for projects like creating community gardens , creating shaded areas , landscaping , performing minor repairs or painting . The City is exploring using this framework to expand into other neighborhoods across Port St . Lucie .
