Approval of the proposal submitted by S&ME Consultants to complete the Downtown Master Plan in the amount of $158,500. 

The City and FPRA have embarked upon numerous planning studies that address the downtown including the 2020 FPRA Redevelopment Plan, the 2020 Parking Study, the 2021 Retail Market Study and Strategies, the 2008 Downtown Waterfront Charrette, the 2020 Port of Fort Pierce Master Plan, the 2014 Martin and St. Lucie Regional Waterways Plan. With many new projects planned or underway, it is important for us to have a strong vision for the future with a plan that is both comprehensive and relevant. The FPRA seeks to establish a clear vision for future development within the Central Business District and adopt an implementation strategy to guide (re)development efforts. S&ME's approach will seek to foster sustainable growth while preserving and enhancing the City’s unique character, in accordance with the recently adopted revisions of the City’s Future Land Use designation.
