Does Port St. Lucie need a water park or Trader Joe's?
Sky's the limit in Southern Grove
So. Does Port St. Lucie need a water park? How about an amphitheater, a public performance space? Another movie theater? A Trader Joe’s? Or what about some pickleball courts, maybe even a ice rink? Dream and it might come true. And we’ll get our first glimpse in just a few months. All the above are ideas pitched by Port St. Lucie residents at a community workshop in December on the topic of Southern Grove — some 1,200 acres in the area commonly known as Tradition.
Southern Grove is already home to Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital, the Tradition Center for Innovation, Keiser University and other institutions. But there’s room for so much more — commercial, industrial, residential. It is, really, a blank slate.
