City anticipating substantial job growth
at commerce center in Tradition
Where thousands of citrus trees once produced
the juicy oranges and grapefruit for which the
Treasure Coast is known, thousands of jobs will
eventually sprout in Port St. Lucie. The timetable
for the first hiring is about a year away when City Electric
Supply and its subsidiary, Tamco, move into the new Tradition
Center for Commerce.
The center, 900 acres adjacent to the southern end of the
Tradition Center for Innovation alongside Interstate 95, is
expected by city officials to turn into a major hub for commercial
and light industrial businesses. Just west of it Mattamy
Homes of Toronto, Canada, the largest private company
building homes in North America, may construct more than
4,000 residences. >>

green area, is the Tradition Center for Commerce. The view is from the north, with Tradition Parkway in the foreground, looking toward Becker Road.
