The lead story this week |
 See P1 Motor Club's nearly complete race track in St. Lucie County The P1 Motor Club race track is shaping up to be one of the most significant entertainment venues in our region! This state-of-the-art facility represents a massive investment in Port St. Lucie's future and shows what's possible when vision meets execution. With construction nearly finished, we're looking at a premier destination for racing events, driver experiences, and motorsports entertainment. The economic ripple effects alone—from hospitality to dining to retail—will energize our entire community for years to come. This is the kind of anchor project that transforms how people see us. We're not just a place to live anymore; we're becoming a place people travel to for unforgettable experiences. That's growth we can all celebrate! What it means for PSL: P1 Motor Club's nearly complete track will make Port St. Lucie a motorsports destination. Watch the Clip → |

Five projects and closures worth tracking this week |
 INFRASTRUCTURE St. Lucie County road work and closure updates Public Works has scheduled periodic single-lane closures for maintenance projects across the county this week. Our take: Expect brief single-lane delays — build in a few extra minutes if you're routing through the work zones. Read More → |
|  INFRASTRUCTURE Johnston Road culvert and canal repair updates Crews are shifting work from Canal 17 to Canal 16 as part of ongoing drainage improvements along Johnston Road. Our take: Slow, steady progress on drainage work that keeps Johnston Road passable when the rain picks up. Read More → |
|  INFRASTRUCTURE New multi-use sidewalk completed along Walton Road The county installed roughly 5,000 feet of wide, multi-use sidewalk along Walton Road to improve pedestrian access and drainage. Our take: A win for walkers and cyclists, and better drainage means fewer flooded shoulders after storms. Read More → |
|  INFRASTRUCTURE PSL Council Approves FDOT Midway Road Turnpike Ramp Deal City Council approved a maintenance agreement with FDOT for decorative features on the new interchange ramp at Midway Road and the Turnpike, following action at its July 13 meeting. Our take: A small but visible upgrade — decorative touches are now locked in as part of the new Midway Road interchange ramp. Read More → |
|  INFRASTRUCTURE New North Causeway Bridge now open to traffic The newly built North Causeway Bridge opened to regional traffic this past May. Our take: One less detour for anyone crossing between the mainland and the barrier island. Read More → |
