Port St. Lucie boards meet on land deals, rezoning, code cases; decisions pending

Three Port St. Lucie advisory and enforcement bodies met in the past two weeks, but none have published minutes yet, so no official decisions are confirmed. The agendas covered land purchases, a rezoning request, and code enforcement cases.
