St. Lucie County in Florida seeks private partner for waterfront development
St. Lucie County (Florida, US) has launched a tender process to seek a private partner for a waterfront development.
The Board of County Commissioners recently issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the development of the 20 acres of county-owned land inside the 90-acre Port of Fort Pierce. Less than three miles from the mouth of the deep-water Fort Pierce Inlet, the parcel offers unobstructed access to the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean. The site is thought by industry experts to be the ideal for the development of an MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) facility for so-called megayachts, which, in fact, have made calls on the Port in increasing numbers in recent years.
The fact that the parcel has never been developed also lends the advantage that the new facility can be purpose-built specifically for this activity, creating cost-savings and efficiencies.
St. Lucie County and the City of Fort Pierce are finalizing more than US$7.3 million worth of improvements to Second Street leading into the Port area. This major construction project includes improved drainage, stormwater retention, reconstructed and widened roads, expanded utilities; sidewalks and lighting.
