Historic Downtown Stuart secured the most votes during the People’s Choice Voting Round to secure the title
STUART, Fla. (October 7, 2020) – The Florida Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA FL) recently announced Historic Downtown Stuart has officially won the 2020 Great Places in Florida Award.
A panel of multidisciplinary experts reviewed the nominations and selected Historic Downtown Stuart as a finalist, along with Mill Lake Park Continuum in Orange City and Warm Springs Mineral Park in North Port, Florida. The public was then invited to vote for the winner during the People’s Choice voting round, which counted more than 5,000 total votes from across the state.
The annual initiative celebrates Great Places in Florida and the communities that sustain them, including neighborhoods, downtowns, streets and public places. The Great Places program focuses on unique, memorable places that work for the good of their community and attract people to visit them.
“It was great to work the Martin County Tourist Development Council on another award for the City of Stuart. Being named the winner of Great places in Florida along with our other awards – it’s evident that citizens across the state of Florida see Downtown Stuart as a premier destination,” said David Dyess, Stuart City Manager.
