The City of Port St. Lucie has finalized a deal to purchase roughly 111.59 acres of surplus land from the St. Lucie County School District at their Sept. 22 meeting.
The acquisition was approved by the city commission and is aimed at furthering the city’s goals of expanding conservation areas and parks.
The land, which the school district declared surplus after determining it was no longer needed for educational purposes, is located across multiple sites in Port St. Lucie.
One location includes two parcels off Walton Road and Tiffany Avenue, each roughly 20 acres. Another larger parcel, roughly 73 acres, is located off Southbend Boulevard.
Jennifer Davis, Director of the Port St. Lucie Community Redevelopment Agency, described the purchase as a significant opportunity.
