Martin County and Indiantown report growth trends; Indiantown launches interactive GIS and faces water‑capacity limits for new projects
Samantha Lovelady, growth management, told the meeting Martin County’s 2024 population estimates show 1.23% growth over 2023. She said the county has approved 90 dwelling units and 221,750 square feet of nonresidential development so far this year, and that 470 residential permits have been issued to date.

Dina Freeman, representing the Village of Indiantown, demonstrated a new interactive GIS mapping system for the village website that will show municipal boundaries, land use and zoning layers, active development projects (in review and approved), active businesses and live bus‑route information.

Freeman listed specific projects visible on the GIS: the Terrelago master site plan (large, approved master plan), River Oak (131 approved single‑family units), Project Lift (commercial/CRA project now under construction), Sedron Technologies’ reuse of a former juice plant (about 62,990 square feet proposed) and other industrial and manufacturing projects including Yellow Pine Trusses; she said Sedron already hosts multiple companies on the site.

Freeman and village staff emphasized a recurring constraint: water capacity. She said developers may seek temporary solutions such as individual wells or local water facilities while the village advances utility projects. She gave regional figures for active proposals: roughly 4,562 units in large site planning and 1,528 units approved/under construction or in building permit stages (including Terrelago Phase 1A and 1B at 808 units). She also said the village had about 70 active building permits in the building department.

Jody Coogler, development director for the City of Stuart, reported several nonresidential projects under construction or review in Stuart, including Baron Business Parkway (flex industrial), a 6,000‑square‑foot Zanado commercial building and an approved Seacoast Bank headquarters.

Freeman said the Indiantown GIS will go live in the next few weeks and allow residents and applicants to click parcel layers, see proposed project details and even view multi‑bus route locations on mobile devices.
