A major site plan application is under review for the new location of Project Orchid headquarters. The project is proposed for an unspecified location within St. Lucie County. The Environmental Resources Department has reviewed the application and has no objection to the rezoning, though further review of development plans will occur during site plan approval or the building permit process. This review will include conditions for tree mitigation, species surveys, and vegetation removal permits. Clearing and earthwork must be done outside the Scrub-jay nesting season, and invasive plants must be removed before occupancy. This project is in the early stages of review, offering an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage before final site plans, bids, and permits are issued. Early involvement can provide an advantage in securing work related to site preparation, grading, utility installation, and potentially vertical construction and landscaping.
