Board of County Commissioners- Informal Meeting · 2026-04-14 · agenda_item

St. Lucie County is reviewing a proposed resolution to establish new guidelines for its economic incentive programs. This resolution outlines how grant awards will be disbursed, including annual payment limits of twenty percent of the total award and requirements for applicants to meet performance thresholds. It details the administrative roles of the Planning and Development Services Department and the County Attorney's Office in managing these programs, including application processing, agreement creation, and compliance monitoring. The proposed rules also cover compliance certification, reporting requirements, and clawback provisions for failure to meet obligations. This item is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should be aware that the adoption of these guidelines could lead to future projects seeking economic incentives, potentially involving site preparation, construction, and related services. Engaging with the county or potential applicants early could provide an advantage as these programs are developed.
