Background: Port St. Lucie, FL was recognized today as one of ten All-America City Award winners. The National Civic League presented this honor to recognize Port St. Lucie's work to actively engage residents in the pursuit of environmental goals. Earlier this year, communities from across the country submitted written applications showcasing their efforts to bring people together, create positive change, and build thriving, resilient communities. The field was narrowed to twenty finalists and this week, these finalist communities traveled to Denver, Colorado, where they connected and shared insights with peers, learned from national thought leaders, and presented their work to a jury of nationally recognized civic leaders. After careful deliberation, the jury selected ten winning communities, including Port St. Lucie, Florida.
