St. Patrick's Day

The South Hutchinson Island Western Peninsula charrette was well attended on Saturday, March 17, thanks to a number of people who called and emailed to business people and residents throughout St. Lucie County. The diverse group included 2012 candidates for a county and city offices. Six team leaders presented their reports and all teams called for some kind of development on the Western Peninsula, including residential, resort, recreation and even a marine academy. Marcela Camblor of the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Agency is shown wrapping up the charrette, with the six conceptual drawings behind her on the wall.

Later in the day, I worked at the St. Patrick Day Festival for the Downtown Business Association (DBA).
