Proposed Suni Sands Marina Development
The CRA is weighing how to pay for the mandatory Suni Sands property acquisition without overburdening residents with new taxes or draining funds from other needed community projects before the agency sunsets in 2035.
Jupiter Christian School Legacy Campus Development
Jupiter Christian School is requesting major land use and zoning changes on a 57-acre industrial property to build a new K-12 legacy campus and workforce housing.

The council approved a settlement over the Suni Sands property, securing permanent public ownership and protection for the historic Midden and Celestial Railway right-of-way while allowing limited development potential.
