GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE DISCUSSED: 

The South Florida Water Management District will celebrate the completion of the Bluefield Grove Water Farm with a ribbon cutting event. Closed-toe shoes are recommended.

Bluefield Grove is a 6,000-acre stormwater storage and treatment project in St. Lucie County. It is designed to reduce nutrient loads and excess surface water discharges from the C-23 Basin into the St. Lucie Estuary. The project can capture 28,000 acre-feet (over 9 billion gallons) of regional stormwater before it enters the St. Lucie Estuary.​ Governor Ron DeSantis prioritized public-private partnerships like this one as part of his effort to do more for Florida’s environment and improve water quality around the state. This project is generously funded by the Florida Legislature.

The event will be recorded and available for viewing at YouTube.com/SFWMDTV after the event concludes.
