GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: This project involves the development of a plan and strategies to leverage economic benefits related to the waterways in Martin and St. Lucie Counties, including the Intracoastal Waterway, St. Lucie River (north and south forks), and St. Lucie Canal. The plan will evaluate land development opportunities, water-based transportation, and measures to improve efficiency, access to the waterways, recreational opportunities, and marine-related benefits.

Three separate public workshops will be conducted, wherein following an opening presentation, participants will have the opportunity to work with facilitators to identify opportunities and challenges related to the waterways of Martin & St. Lucie counties as well as introduce new ideas. Following the workshops, the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council will host a week-long public charrette with a multidisciplinary team assembled to synthesize the public’s input with the research and evaluations received from these workshops. There will be an opportunity where the public can review preliminary findings and observations regarding the project and provide additional public input as appropriate.
