Hundreds of Costco jobs coming to Port St. Lucie

Costco will be bringing hundreds of jobs to St. Lucie County as the company develops a multi-phased cold and dry storage depot at the Sansone Group’s Legacy Park at Tradition.

The global company’s Port St. Lucie depot will ultimately include two facilities totaling 1.87 million square feet and employing more than 500. The site plan for the project was approved by the Port St. Lucie City Council on Dec. 4 as Project Everest and the first phase consists of a 595,000-square-foot cold and dry storage facility which will employ 265 people at an average wage of $55,350 plus benefits.
