Drainage improvements in the Harmony Heights subdivision are nearly complete.

Because of the age of the area, the community previously lacked an overall stormwater management system. St. Lucie County Public Works constructed dry detention ponds and associated swales within Harmony Heights. As a result, roadways were constructed and new driveway culverts and driveways – within the County’s right-of-way – were also added.

This investment in the community will help protect residents from future stormwater flooding. It will also provide water quality benefits by intercepting and treating unregulated stormwater runoff.

This was the third phase of the community retrofit project. The 300-plus acre subdivision located in unincorporated St. Lucie County northwest of Fort Pierce was divided into phases to facilitate design and construction.

This project was made possible with the help of funding through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARP) of 2021.
