Martin attempting to block western PSL development

The Martin County Commission directed attorney David Acton to draft a legal document to challenge any approval that would allow Port St. Lucie to develop its western corridor.
Martin County would like to see Port St. Lucie take steps to make developers pay their southern neighbors for the impact of the city's rapid growth on Martin's roads, boat ramps and beaches.

Port St. Lucie is planning seven developments, totaling more than 17,000 acres, which would bring 38,000 new homes to the area.

In the meantime, the county will send a letter to both the Department of Community Affairs and to Port St. Lucie asking them to take into account the impact of additional population on public facilities in Martin County.
