Even though Port St. Lucie is a young city, incorporated in 1961, it has commanded attention as one of Florida’s most promising cities. The Census Bureau announced in June 2005 that Port St. Lucie was the fastest growing large city in the U.S. More than 125,000 residents make up Port St. Lucie, ranking it as the 15th largest city in Florida. With its beaches, navigable waterways, and 81 sq. miles with only 40 percent build-out, the possibilities are endless. What began as a predominantly residential “bedroom community” is now undergoing a transition, becoming a dynamic and diverse city. With its low density and affordable land, Port St. Lucie is appealing to business owners looking to move to a centrally located area.
The city is undertaking aggressive redevelopment efforts to improve the U.S. 1 corridor with the intention of creating a new downtown business area for the community. Over the next four years a massive roadway improvement program will be implemented, including the widening of major arteries within the city. St. Lucie West, a planned community in western Port St. Lucie, continues to be the most actively developed area within the city and home to branches of major companies. With its gated communities, shopping centers, and other facilities, it is almost a city within a city.
