Home Care In Port St Lucie, FL

Home Care Port St Lucie, FL

They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.

However, as seniors grow older, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting the historic Peacock House and Lodge gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.

Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Port St Lucie, FL is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

The Always Best Care Difference

Since 1996, Always Best Care has provided non-medical in-home care for seniors to help them maintain a healthy lifestyle as they get older. We are proud to have helped more than 25,000 seniors maintain higher levels of dignity and respect. We focus on providing seniors with the highest level of in-home care available so that they may live happily and independently.

Unlike some senior care companies, we genuinely want to be included in our clients' lives. We believe that personalized care is always the better option over a "one size fits all" approach. To make sure our senior clients receive the best care possible, we pair them with compassionate caregivers who understand their unique needs. That way, they may provide care accordingly without compromising their wellbeing.

The Always Best Care difference lies in life's little moments - where compassionate care and trustworthy experience come together to help seniors live a fruitful, healthy life. Whether you are an aging adult that can't quite keep up with life's daily tasks or the child of a senior who needs regular in-home services, Always Best Care is here to help.

“I am a current client of this provider lways Best Care helped our family secure free in-home care services through Veterans Affairs. VA Community Care benefits were completely unknown to us when we were looking for affordable care for mom and dad. Always Best Care helped us navigate through obtaining the caregiver benefits. Mom received free respite care to help give her a break from caregiver duties while caring for Dad. Their caregivers were kind and reliable, making our experience wonderful. Highly recommended.”

Starting with the initial consultation by Steve to learn about mom's personal care needs to the follow-up visit of a registered nurse to the eventual placement of a compassionate caregiver; every step of their service was well thought out and they truly delivered on providing a level of care for mom that exceeded our families (and mom's) expectations. It can be very nerve racking to find and leave your loved one with a caregiver but this company gets that and they were just fantastic. Thank you Always Best Care!”

“I have been utilizing Always Best Care Senior Services for 2 years to care 24/7 for my elderly parents. I am very pleased with their services. The Owners and Office Staff bend over backwards to make sure that there is always coverage, to alert my parents Caregiver Team of any requests that I make, to advise me when there is an issue with my parents or their dog. The Caregiver Team working with my parents are all compassionate and caring, knowledgeable and skilled. Sadly, my Father passed away in the fall of 2020. Each of their Caregivers, the Owners and the Office Staff expressed to me that they would like to attend his memorial service when we are able to have it. During the weeks he was slipping away, the Caregiver team not only took care of my parents, they looked after me, gently reminding me to eat, rest or take a break. They truly care not only for my parents, but for all our family. I can’t begin to express what a comfort it has been to have them caring for my parents, especially during the pandemic when visits are prohibited. They are my eyes and ears. Working intimately with my parents, the Caregivers are very tuned in to even subtle changes. If you are in the market and looking for a senior services/home health care company, I strongly urge you to reach out to Always Best Care Senior Services. You’ll be happy you did.”

Despite losing his wife of 37 years, my father is currently doing very well back north in an assisted living facility.

“I have worked with, and explored working with, various agencies and registries in the Palm Beach County area. I am picky. Always Best Care is qualitatively a notch above every other organization I've encountered. Responsive. Amiable. Professional. The aide, Islande, who has worked with my mom is top-notch for our needs. And . . . I have no doubt Steve (the agency's owner) and his staff would strive to find someone else, if it hadn't been a fit. If you are looking for Nursing Care, I strongly recommend giving Always Best Care a chance. BTW: It is important to understand that working with an Nursing Agency (like Always Best Care), means the staff are employees, not independent contractors (as they are when working through a Nursing Registry). An Agency is vested in having good employees, and a good agency wants you to be happy. But even all Agencies are not created equal. I worked with one (Alternative Health Care) where aides did not always show up! That was painful and incredibly stressful, and the manager and other higher-up staff didn't give a hoot.”

Not only were they extremely receptive to our needs, available immediately to every call, text or email, compassionate and kind...every single employee was better than the next. My Dad's recent death and my mothers recent surgery (with complications) requiring extra care was a traumatic time for our family. The care she received was beyond skilled and professional. We knew she was in trusting, caring hands. She was happy. I have recommended ABC to others and they have had the same experience. Do not hesitate to reach out to them if you are in need.

“Always Best Care has been wonderful in many ways. Steve Snell, Owner and Area Representative, and Beverly Casper, RN were patient, kind and respectful while my Dad came to terms with the idea that he really did need help. They were flexible and open and that made all the difference. My Dad's aide Fabienne is responsible and caring and now more of a companion than aide. Steve and his scheduling team has been proactive about any changes that needed to occur and very good about communicating with me both by phone and email. Having them on board has lessened the worry I feel on a daily basis. My mother had a prolonged illness and through the years we dealt with many health care agencies. The attention and care we have received from Always Best Care is, by far, the best we ever have experienced and we are very grateful to have found them.”

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Port St Lucie, FL?

lm-check

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.

lm-check

When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.

lm-check

The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.

lm-check

At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.

Home Care Port St Lucie, FL
Respite Care

Respite Care Services

According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local West End Grill or visit Spruce Bluff Preserve, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.

At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.

If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.

Benefits of Home Care in Port St Lucie, FL

Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:

Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

Aging in Place: The Preferred Choice for Most Seniors

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.

In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.

Here are just a few of the reasons why older men and women prefer to age at home:

How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?

A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.

With the help of elderly care in Port St Lucie, FL, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.

Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.

Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.

For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.

More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.

In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.

With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.

 Elderly Care Port St Lucie, FL

Affordable Care

In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.

Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.

At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.

In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:

If your loved one qualifies, Medicaid may help reduce in-home care costs. Review your FL's Medicaid program laws and benefits, and make sure your senior's financial and medical needs meet Medicaid eligibility requirements.
Attendance and aid benefits through military service can cover a portion of the costs associated with in-home care for veterans and their spouses.
Many senior care services like in-home care are included in long-term care insurance options. Research different long-term care solutions to find a plan that provides coverage for senior care.
Home care can be included as part of a senior's private insurance plan. Read over your loved one's insurance policy carefully or speak with their insurance provider to determine if in-home care is covered.
Depending on the life insurance plan, you may be able to apply your policy toward long-term care. You may be able to use long-term-care coverage to help pay for in-home elderly care.
 Senior Care Port St Lucie, FL

Compassionate Care. Trusted Caregivers.

When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.

Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.

At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in Port St Lucie, FL understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.

Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.

Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.

Assisted Living Referral Services

While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.

Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — The Treasure Coast continues to grow exponentially, and the latest development will likely come to Tradition.

Last week, Port St. Lucie City Council approved the rezoning of a 41-acre plot of land off Village Parkway and Becker Road, paving the way for a development with homes, retail space and more.

According to the plans, which are in the name of Mattamy Palm Beach LLC, at least roughly a third of the land parcel would be residential, with the other two-thirds being commercial, which could include retail, office space, restaurants and more.

Included in the plan are a 5,915-square-foot convenience store and gas station along with a 136,789-square-foot home improvement store.

"I do have a little concern with both Home Depot and Lowe's being just an exit way," Vice Mayor Jolien Caraballo said.

She worried another home improvement chain would create too much competition.

Mattamy Home's representatives didn't confirm which store it is, but Mayor Shannon Martin said in the city council meeting she doesn't think it will be an issue.

"Especially the way our city is growing by leaps and bounds," Martin said in last week's city council meeting.

Several residents, however, voiced concern about the growing pains that come when the city continues to grow.

"Yes, it's too much, if you ask me," resident Jane Wells said. "More development, more traffic, but it's going to grow whether we want it to or not."

"It's amazing. It’s amazing how much it's grown," added resident Bob Martz. "We knew this growth was coming, but to see it materialize so quickly is really astonishing to see."

WPTV contacted the city of Port St. Lucie to address those concerns. We were told Martin wasn't available for an interview but city staff said in a statement the development of the region was granted 20 years ago as part of an annexation.

The statement in full reads:

"Wilson Groves is a development of regional impact that was approved 20 years ago and all of the development rights were granted at that time. The current City Council cannot take away the rights that were granted and must today work with the developer. The City holds the developer accountable for all infrastructure that is required under the development order."

"For anyone that thinks we're just allowing more residential for the sake of more residential, or that there's some hidden benefit to it by the city council, that's completely false," Martin said in a March 25 city council meeting.

WPTV contacted Mattamy Homes, who declined to comment on the project, but according to the plan, are required to put in a traffic signal within 18 months of the project's approval.

"That's what we wanted to see," Martz said. "We wanted a golf cart community. We wanted amenities surrounding us."

The city said this was just the project's first reading. It has to go through a second reading before being officially approved.

Fine dining, indoor sports and retail could come to Port St. Lucie in new Tradition Entertainment District

PORT ST LUCIE, Fla. — Tradition in Port St. Lucie could soon be getting an "entertainment district" full of fine dining and restaurants, nightlife, retail and more.This month, Port St. Lucie City Council members voted to start a land deal negotiation with Gustavo Lumer, a real estate developer from Miami, for the 100,000 acre plot of land between Southwest Village Parkway and Interstate 95.The district, if built, would be located north of the Amazon warehouse by the planned Costco Distribution Center.&quo...

PORT ST LUCIE, Fla. — Tradition in Port St. Lucie could soon be getting an "entertainment district" full of fine dining and restaurants, nightlife, retail and more.

This month, Port St. Lucie City Council members voted to start a land deal negotiation with Gustavo Lumer, a real estate developer from Miami, for the 100,000 acre plot of land between Southwest Village Parkway and Interstate 95.

The district, if built, would be located north of the Amazon warehouse by the planned Costco Distribution Center.

"With so many homes coming to the area there’s a need for entertainment, a need for places to walk to dinner," said Lumer.

Lumer is already putting in four restaurants, including Bonefish Grill, Outback Steakhouse and First Watch on the empty plot of land near the Panda Express and Dunkin Donuts on Southwest Village Parkway.

"We ran out of room," Lumer told WPTV's Kate Hussey. "We have larger restaurants that want to come, more investment and some entertainment, some indoor sports."

The district would cost about $6.8 million dollars, which Lumer would fund. It's one of several parcels of land in that area that could be developed, and would likely rake in thousands if not millions of dollars to the county and city.

"It’s going to generate some great jobs," said Pete Tesch, economic development council director for St. Lucie County. "We are working with the developer through their site plan and development and we'll consider doing a detailed economic impact analysis once we know the capital investment, jobs and consumer spending habits."

Tradition resident Steven Widows was thrilled to hear about the potential plans.

"This area is growing tremendously, especially the past couple of years, and there’s not enough entertainment so to speak for it," Widows. said “I think having something local would be smart. Maybe a little nightlife action, maybe some shopping, a movie theater, a breakfast spot please?"

David Reeves, who moved to Port St. Lucie recently, said he saw both positive and negatives to the project.

"It's the way it’s wielded, whether for good or for bad," Reeves said. "With the development there’s going to be more congestion, more people, the roads are going to be harder to traverse."

Resident Trina Long, who has lived in Port St. Lucie since 1999, said she feared the added development would bring more congestion and confusion.

"The houses are being built so fast, people are coming and they can't keep up," said Long. "It's so congested and crowded, what used to be a 5 to 10 minute drive can be 15 or 20 minutes now."

Lumer addressed those concerns, and said he took traffic into consideration before planning the project.

He told WPTV's Kate Hussey that he partially chose the district's location because of its current infrastructure, not in spite of.

"It's an easy way in and an easy way out," Lumer, of Village Parkway, said. "We will build enough parking spots for everybody so there's plenty of space and we wont create a traffic jam.

"So, you don't foresee any backups that would be caused by a project like this?" asked Hussey.

"No, I don't think so," Lumer replied.

WPTV reached out to the city of Port St. Lucie, who declined to comment since no official project plan has been submitted.

However, in the city's meeting earlier this month, Mayor Shannon Martin said the plan fits in with the city's 2018 Master Plan.

Remember, nothing is approved yet aside from the city moving forward to negotiate a potential land sale.

If that eventually goes through, Lumer said the next step would be development.

Port St. Lucie Man Tells The I-Team: My Backyard is Water World

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (CBS12) — A Port St Lucie man contacted the CBS12 News I-Team, angry about what’s happening in his backyard.

He says all the new houses being built around the neighborhood are turning his slice of paradise into water world.

And he wants the city to do something about it before the rains come back.

“There are so many developers in the city,” said Rudy Mosher, “The city doesn’t care about us. My backyard floods because there’s no place for the water to go.”

When the I-Team visited Rudy’s home on southwest Ithaca Street, it was a beautiful afternoon. Everything was dry.

Rudy, who retired from General Motors, takes a lot of pride in his lawn and garden; lots of flowers, a thriving banana tree.

But the photos Rudy sent the I-Team during the height of the rainy season tell a different story. A soggy, sinkhole-riddled moonscape. Rudy has spent thousands of dollars and many hours trying to fix the problem.

Rudy has put in a pump and has installed underground PVC pipes to try to take the water out to the street, since he can’t get any help from the city.

When the Moshers moved here 12 years ago, it was just woods behind their house. Then, over time, the woods were cut down, and new neighbors came in. The last three years have seen rapid development.

The newest house was built by Maronda homes. From his backyard, Rudy can see the pipe that’s supposed to carry water in the neighbor’s backyard to the drainage ditch in front of the lot.

But instead, the water flows backwards. To Rudy.

“It wasn’t graded properly,” Mosher said.

Here’s a quick crash course in “grading” - that’s the slope of a property, which determines which way the water runs when it rains.

Getting it right is down to the homebuilders.

If they do it wrong, they can be fined – or sued or so we thought:

“I called the city and I said I want to sue that developer because of all the water that’s coming on my property. She said you can’t sue the developer. I said what do you mean I can’t sue the developer? She said you can’t, however, she said, after the new owner takes over the property, if he can’t maintain his water, then you can sue him, and I said, that doesn’t make sense, it wasn’t his fault.” Mosher told the I-Team.

Rudy says the city went on to tell him to build a berm in his back yard. A raised embankment to keep the water out, like a dam.

“I bought all the material and I put up the fence myself, and now they want me to put dirt around my fence, to destroy my fence. Right now it’s bad enough that the water is destroying it. It’s not my responsibility to maintain their water. It’s my responsibility to take care of my water, as I have been doing for 10 to 12 years.”

Maronda Homes has not returned calls for comment.

The city sent two statements responding to the I-Team:

“I regret that Mr. Mosher has experienced frustration over the situation with his neighbor. In this regard, my role as Mayor was to connect him with city staff in the department that can help address his drainage issue. I am aware that our team has actively worked on addressing the issues that he raised.

The assertion that developers or home builders are given preferential treatment is completely untrue. Every builder and developer is held to the same standard in Port St. Lucie, and they are given the same consideration as residents when it comes to property rights.” -Mayor Shannon Martin

“The City of Port St. Lucie cares about our residents and it is our mission to provide exceptional municipal services that are responsive to our community while planning for smart and balanced growth that is managed in a financially responsible manner. The City takes our obligations to residents seriously as we work to ensure new homes are built according to our code requirements and regulations. The City has and will continue to require all standards are met for new development.

Regarding Mr. Moser’s claim, a final inspection of the lot drainage was completed and the new property is in compliance with City rules and standards. The City has done everything we can to support the resident with the development of the new home adjacent to his property.” - Sarah Prohaska Director Communications Department (on behalf of the city)

Hundreds of jobs coming to Port St. Lucie with development of new Costco facilities

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (CBS12) — Two facilities totaling roughly 1.87 million square feet, employing more than 500 people and requiring hundreds more just to build the depots, were approved by the Port St. Lucie City Council in early December. Sansone Group's Legacy Park at Tradition will be its home.

Phase One of the massive project is estimated to cost over $70 million.

The first phase in the multi-step plan includes construction of a 595,000-square-foot cold and dry storage facility. This building will require around 265 employees with an average income of $55,350, a news release said. Labor income from Phase One's construction is expected to exceed $25 million with indirect, direct and induced labor income surpassing $35 million.

"The reality is that the jobs this Costco depot will bring us, at well above our county’s average wage, will make a huge, positive difference in the lives of 265 local families and the lives of the many others these families touch – and that’s for the first phase alone," Port St. Lucie Mayor Shannon Martin said.

The cold and dry storage facility will cost around $55 million with equipment costing $16 million, according to the Economic Development Council (EDC) of St. Lucie County news release.

Phase Two is another colossal undertaking: development of a 1.06-million-square-foot dry goods distribution center. Additionally, two future expansion areas for cold storage and dry storage buildings are part of the plan, sized to be 60,000 and 147,500 square feet, respectively.

President of the EDC of St. Lucie County Pete Tesch praised developments from the past five years in Southern Grove, a large 200-acre piece of land housing other manufacturing giants in Port St. Lucie.

What was once a "financial liability" is now a "vibrant jobs engine," benefitting the municipalities' residents for future generations, Tesch said about the Southern Grove area.

The mayor expressed her excitement about the addition of another globally recognized company coming to the area, which holds facilities for FedEx and Amazon. Local and regional employers are also in the same "Jobs Corridor," like OCULUS Surgical, TAMCO and Cheney Brothers, the news release said.

The Port St. Lucie City Council approved an incentive package Monday for Costco.

This includes tax exemptions for real and tangible personal property for five years at 100 percent. Once that time is up, it will decrease to 90, 80, 60, 40 then 20 percent for the next five years, according to the news release. Projects with incentives are still required to fully pay school, fire, voter-approved debt and other taxes.

LUCIE — A nearly 200-acre development could be coming to Southern Grove, the largest chunk of land within the area that already boasts major companies such as FedEx and Amazon.As with other companies that have been lured to Port St. Lucie, this one has not been identified publicly, but its code name hints at its scope: Project Everest.Including past projects?Adding to the secrecy and intrigue, a map included in city documents appears to show Project Everest includes a smaller area previous...

PORT ST. LUCIE — A nearly 200-acre development could be coming to Southern Grove, the largest chunk of land within the area that already boasts major companies such as FedEx and Amazon.

As with other companies that have been lured to Port St. Lucie, this one has not been identified publicly, but its code name hints at its scope: Project Everest.

Including past projects?

Adding to the secrecy and intrigue, a map included in city documents appears to show Project Everest includes a smaller area previously assigned to another code-named project: Project Apron. City documents also mention Project Green in connection with Project Everest.

The city approved site plans for Project Apron and Project Green in 2022. Each was to exceed 1 million square feet.

Details and impact of Everest

While the ultimate occupant of the land remains a closely guarded secret, documents shed some light on what could be coming.

The unidentified company is publicly traded, 40 years old and is on the Fortune 50 list. It is an international wholesaler, distributor and retailer that exceeds $200 billion in annual revenue. It has more than 300,000 employees worldwide with more than 800 locations supplied by 24 depots, according to an executive summary prepared for the city by the Economic Development Council of St. Lucie County.

The Economic Development Council projects the company would create 265 jobs with an average wage of $55,350 plus benefits. Total economic impact of construction is estimated at nearly $85 million, while the impact of the new jobs is estimated at about $198 million annually.

Two city votes on Monday

The city is to hold two votes Monday related to Project Everest.

At 11 a.m., the Government Finance Corp. — which comprises city councilmembers — is to vote on the sale of about 133 acres of city-owned land to developer JDN Enterprises for about $16.24 million. When combined with the land labeled as Project Apron, the property would reach about 192 acres.

At the same time, the city has plans to approve giving the buyer an infrastructure credit of almost $18.7 million to facilitate infrastructure development. The buyer is agreeing to fund infrastructure improvements as part of an agreed "Road Project" in excess of that credit, and plans to borrow $11,357,156.98 to do so, according to a draft of the contract.

Then, at 1 p.m., the City Council plans to vote on a package of tax breaks. In years one through five, the company would be exempt from all ad valorem taxes to the city and to St. Lucie County. In the sixth year that exemption drops to 90%, then to 80% in year seven, 60% in year eight, 40% in year nine and 20% in year 10.

The company also would be given a five-year grant of $2,100 per new employee by the county and a $3,500 per new job impact and mobility fee waiver by the city.

Expanding Southern Grove

Southern Grove is a 3,605-acre stretch of land acquired by the city in 2018. The city quickly made plans for what it dubbed its jobs corridor, splitting the land up into separate plots. In addition to industrial sites already in operation, the city has plans for commercial, retail and entertainment development in the future, according to its master plan.

The Project Everest property is a combination of several of those original lots.

The City Council meeting will be the first of the new year, and the first held under a new schedule.
