The Mosquito Control District of St. Lucie County is considering the purchase of property located on South Hutchinson Island. This property is scheduled for a tax deed auction on June 22, 2026. The County staff recommends that the Board authorize the Property Acquisition Manager to attend the auction and bid on behalf of the County, with a maximum bid amount set by staff. If the auction is successful, the County Finance Director would be authorized to make the final payment on June 23, 2026. This planned property acquisition could eventually lead to site development, including potential clearing, grading, utility work, and construction, depending on the District's future plans for the land. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in fields such as real estate, legal services, and potentially construction and site preparation could find opportunities by engaging with the Mosquito Control District early in this process, before specific project plans and bids are finalized.
