Martin County Roundup: Newfield Hearing, Bridge Contracts on Commissioners' Agenda; Millage Rate Workshop Set for July 13

County Commissioners Take Up Newfield Amendment, Bridge Contracts

The Martin County Board of County Commissioners met June 23 for the first of two public hearings on amending the Newfield development agreement. The proposed amendment would designate a 125-acre environmental parcel and allow placement of excavated materials there.

The same agenda included a public hearing on a zoning change for Jesus House of Hope, requesting a shift from A-2 to AR-5A on 43.9 acres in Palm City. Commissioners were also scheduled to consider solid waste code amendments under Chapter 151, adoption of speed limits and traffic signals on SW Newfield Parkway, and approval of contracts exceeding $1 million for the County Line Road bridge replacement and St. Lucie Inlet operations.

Public comments were allotted at two separate periods.
