PSL On The Mic

Tourism isn't just about tourists. 

On the latest episode of PSL On The Mic, we talk with Charlotte Bireley of Visit St. Lucie about how tourism supports our local economy, what that “bed tax” really is and how the Locals Only campaign can help St. Lucie County residents save money while exploring their own backyard.

Port St. Lucie’s unconventional beginnings — without a traditional downtown or employment hub — led to decades of out-commuting and limited access to high-paying local jobs. 
To reverse this trend, City leaders envisioned the Southern Grove Jobs Corridor, a 1,200-acre tract along Interstate 95 that could redefine the City’s economic future.
Though experts projected a 30-year build-out, today, fewer than 20 acres remain available. The latest acquisition, a Costco retail store, has been one of the top retail requests for our residents for years. 
On the latest episode of PSL On The Mic, we talk with Community Redevelopment Agency Director Jennifer Davis, who takes us on a journey from the beginnings of Southern Grove to where it is today: a thriving jobs corridor that has created unprecedented economic opportunities for our residents and positioned itself as a regional leader in innovation, industry and job creation.
