The City of Fort Pierce is developing a citywide COVID-19 recovery plan to help rebuild our economy with the well-being of Fort Pierce residents and businesses at the forefront. The recovery plan will be presented at a special City Commission Meeting on Tuesday, April 28 at 2pm, followed by a Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency Board Meeting at 4pm. If approved, the plan will include a series of grants supporting businesses, residents and community-based efforts. The public may attend the meetings in person at Fort Pierce City Hall (100 North US Hwy 1, Fort Pierce, FL) or provide comments in writing, including your name and address, to: cityclerk@cityoffortpierce.com no later than noon on Tuesday. All meetings are broadcast live on TV Channel 27 and streamed online at: www.cityoffortpierce.com.
“The City of Fort Pierce is optimistically looking ahead to the recovery phase, even though we remain focused on following the Governor’s Safer-At-Home order and CDC guidelines,” said Mayor Linda Hudson. “We are grateful for all the people who are working for us while we continue to be Safer At Home. We remain vigilant and hopeful.”
