The lead story this week |
Planning Board Backs Port St. Lucie Boulevard Retail Project Here's what just happened: Our Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval for a 10,400-square-foot retail development at Sultan Drive and Port St. Lucie Boulevard. This isn't just another strip mall—it's strategic placement that fills a real gap in our commercial landscape. The location matters. Sultan Drive and Port St. Lucie Boulevard sit at a major crossroads where we're seeing serious residential growth. More families moving in means more demand for retail, restaurants, and services. This project delivers exactly that. We're seeing the pieces of our city's growth puzzle coming together. Residential development from Pulte Homes. New retail approval. Infrastructure upgrades from the county. It all points to one thing: Port St. Lucie is building forward, and we're building it right! What it means for PSL: New retail approval shows Port St. Lucie planning smart for future growth. Read at Hometown News → |
