The thriving city of Port St. Lucie is one of just 10 in the United States honored recently with the “All-America City” award by the National Civic League. The honor recognized the city’s efforts to actively involve residents in creating a clean and beautiful place that matched their wishes for a sustainably green and natural place to live. 

The annual Citizens Summit, giving residents the chance to name and rank their priorities, plays a major role in that effort. But the city also listens and includes residents in its City University program which introduces residents to the complexity of city government, conducts an online survey, the Youth Council for teens, and a variety of programs in its many neighborhoods.
