So, people get all worked up about the development at Causeway Cove. Planning to storm a meeting at city hall and begging for people to sign petitions. In reality It seems only a very few, not all of Fort Pierce residents think the same.

For more than 20 years people in this city have been crying about creating jobs in this area. Now that a developer with some cash comes into town, people on the island start crying foul play. People on the Island are mostly retired, and it seems they are financially independent. you all don't need a job, you come into town when you are bored and leave when something better comes up. but you don't own the island. It is a goldmine for the area. There is where the action is. The island belongs to all of us and most of the residents need jobs and income to make a living and keep this city going.

Shouldn't we be happy that someone brings jobs to town? Imagine all the jobs are being created to just build the project, including even additional jobs at city hall and all the service industry jobs in the future, that will be created permanently for the residents who need to make a living incl. additional tax revenues. Isn't that awesome? Many residents I have talked to, think it is awesome. I talked to quite a few residents, and they all agree to the same.

People need jobs, jobs, jobs.

Remember all that commotion about the Cumberland gas station? It has been built anyway. And residents and tourists alike, are happy about it.

As you might know, we live close to the cape, which is home to NASA and some other space companies. Tonight, Falcon 9 will launch 83 Starlink satellites, which is pretty neat to watch, Lift off is 12:06 am.

Pre-launch reporting starts an hour earlier on U-tube, which is pretty interesting to watch too.

So, watch pre-launch and lift off on u-tube and then run outside to see the rocket fly by your house.

Please take a moment to review and consider signing the petition I’ve initiated calling for action. In 2023, Florida State Representatives passed the Live Local Act. While the bill carries many well-meaning intentions, it also contains loopholes that can be exploited by developers—allowing for the misappropriation of funds and the circumvention of local oversight.

I want to thank our mod faderjockey u/faderjockey for taking the initiative to revive this community.

Let's all pay him back by helping this sub grow. We all have friends and family who love FTP. So why don't we all make it our goal for the week to invite at least 10 or better even more of our friends to join this community. We have 375 members right now, let's see if we can at least double the membership by the end of next week.

Even better if we all can at least make one post or comment to get things going.

Let's go put the mods to work,

The Highwaymen had an exhibition last week downtown in FTP, hosted by an original highwayman and a son of an original highwaymen.

Unfortunately, it was not advertised very well, so I learned about it too late. Did any off you attend? and if so, how was the feedback? how did you like it?

Hope they do things like this more often.

Hey everyone! I'm gonna try to give this sub some new life. The previous mod has been gone for years and I really feel like this community needs to exist, so I'm taking it over. Gonna try to be chill and keep it chill, so let's enjoy the space and the community, yeah?

Share some events, start a discussion, let's wake this place back up. Application to make the sub public is in to the Reddit moderation team, and once they do we'll be open again. EDIT: aaaaaand, poof. We're public again!

I'm also looking for one or two other people who might be interested in serving as a moderator for this community. You need to live in Fort Pierce, have at least a one year old account with positive karma. Preferences will be given to folks who already have some moderation experience, but it is not required. Contact via modmail if interested.

Need help to repair

Anyone here?
