New Martin County Fairgrounds in Indiantown
A new fairgrounds site plan is up for hearing on 30.72 acres next to Indiantown High School, with an arena, welcome buildings, and barns. It would move fair facilities to a new permanent home in western Martin County.
Mavis Tires & Brakes store on South Kanner Highway
A revised site plan hearing is set for an 80-bay auto service store on Kanner Highway in Stuart.
Martin County Operations Facility site plan
The board got an hours-long defense of the P3 operations facility — cost comparisons, TaxWatch support, and bond details — but critics, including Commissioner Vargas and builders in the audience, say it should cost far less and demand an independent owner's representative. The bonds already closed, so stopping now would mean default.
