The Treasure Coast has seen explosive growth and Fort Pierce has been in the center of this movement that has generated vast economic development opportunities. Fortunately, during this time the City of Fort Pierce had the foresight to acquire property in the central business district immediately adjacent to rail property that has been envisioned to facilitate passenger rail connectivity. Two (2) prospective locations have been identified that can easily spur significant development. Both have been conceptualized for design and are located within the boundaries of the local community redevelopment agency with an emphasis on the revitalization of both the physical and economic environment. It is acknowledged that there are multiple functional architectural and compatible urban design approaches to each of these sites and that the conceptual renderings are examples of the development options available for these locations.
