IRC Casual for a Cause donates to The Source

Jonathan Orozco, Development Director of The Source was in attendance to receive the checks from Sara Milliman, Executive Assistant, Office of Communications, School District of Indian River County.

The School District of Indian River County holds a monthly program during the school calendar months that helps local organizations with donations raised by students at individual schools.

Schools offer names of local organizations they would like to raise funds for before the school year closes, and the names of those are then recorded for monthly ceremonies to deliver the donations once the new school year begins. As a means to instill philanthropy to our community’s youngest residents in K through High School, the students then make posters that hang in their school prior to the ceremony. The prize at the end of the donation period is they can select one Monday of the assigned donation month to dress down in a casual manner for the day and then attend the ceremony the following month.

The Source for the poor and the homeless in Vero Beach was selected for the month of February and checks from 15 schools totaling in the amount of $2,406.35 were awarded to them at a School Board meeting held on Monday, March 13 attended by students, teachers and parents. Jonathan Orozco, Development Director of The Source was in attendance to receive the checks from Sara Milliman, Executive Assistant, Office of Communications, School District of Indian River County.

Thanking Air Show volunteers at a perfect picnic

Linda Elie and Jodie Potter celebrate at Stuart Air Show volunteer picnic.

It takes planes and pilots to put on a successful air show, but it also takes volunteers – lots of volunteers. The Board of Directors of the Stuart Air Show thanked theirs the best way they could: at a glorious party held at the Flagler Center in downtown Stuart on March 5.

More than 150 people attended, reuniting with new and old air show friends and the show’s extended family. For some, the first year they volunteered was in 2022, but for others - like Chuck Cleaver, the longest serving volunteer – it’s been decades. As a matter of fact, Cleaver has been at it for 30-plus years.

Lots of the reminiscing revolved around the uncertainty and delays that Hurricane Nicole brought to Air Show weekend.

"Every year has its set of surprises and challenges," says Inez van Ravenzwaaij, Stuart Air Show Executive Director. "But this year was extraordinary because we were staring-down a category one hurricane just days before the show. Without our dedicated cadre of volunteers and the support of the community we wouldn’t have been able to have the show as we did. I’m incredibly proud to work shoulder to shoulder with all our volunteers. They’re simply the best!"

It's become a family and intergenerational experience to volunteer at the show. "I love to see our roster grow every year," says Leslie Judd, Volunteer Key Leader and Principal of Clark Advanced Learning Center. "Not just by individuals, but by teams and entire families. It’s a testament to the type of event the Stuart Air Show is and the caring community it calls home."

Code Red Roofers, TD Bank and JJ Taylor sponsored the event, donating exciting prizes and giveaways. Jimmy Smiths BBQ was caterer and received rave reviews.

The Stuart Air Show takes lots of pre-planning and Individual volunteer registration for 2023 is now open. Those signing up before May 31 will be entered into a random drawing for airshow prizes

Registration for companies, teams, schools, church groups, clubs, youth groups, etc. is open as well.

The Stuart Air Show is expanding its Key Leader team for those with air show experience who want to stretch their wings and fly on a committee or in a leadership position.

Tickets go on sale in early May. Visit www.stuartairshow.com to sign up as a volunteer or for email updates on the air show and promotions.

Data finds the surge in housing costs vary

Data finds the surge in housing costs varies

BOA Logo Bank of America Institute released new analysis which examines the increase in housing costs across the United States. BofA internal data shows that median rent payments were up 8% year-over-year (YoY) and median mortgage payments were up 7% YoY for BofA customers in February, but there are meaningful variations by geography. Metropolitan areas in the Sun Belt like Phoenix and Tampa saw rent costs increase by as much as a staggering 26% and 23% YoY respectively, both of which are at a record high pace despite the Fed action aimed at taming price increases. Cities outside of the Sun Belt, like San Francisco, saw more muted growth, as low as 2.5% YoY. Mortgage payments saw a similar regional divide, with metropolitan areas like Tampa, Orlando and Atlanta seeing the biggest rise, while Chicago, Washington, D.C. and Boston see only modest gains.

Median rent and mortgage payment growth in U.S. metropolitan cities
City	Median rent payment growth¹	Median mortgage payment growth¹
Phoenix	26%	10%
Tampa	23%	15%
Orlando	23%	13%
Charlotte	21%	10%
Austin	21%	14%
Atlanta	20%	13%
Dallas	18%	12%
Miami	16%	15%
New York	9%	9%
Boston	8%	8%
Seattle	7%	12%
Chicago	7%	7%
Los Angeles	6%	9%
San Francisco	2.5%	10%

Economists at the Institute offer four possible reasons for the regional divide:

Domestic migration trends between states since the beginning of the pandemic saw people moving to Arizona, Florida and Texas, while leaving California and Illinois
Sun Belt markets offer more affordable housing, even after the surge in home prices and rents
Job creation in the Sun Belt markets outpaced other markets and exceeded the national average since the start of the pandemic
The creation of higher-paid jobs such as those in technology and finance, which saw higher growth in the Sun Belt, puts upward pressure on the local housing market

“People across the Unites States continue to feel the squeeze from higher housing costs but the impact is uneven between regions,” said Anna Zhou, economist for Bank of America Institute. “Ultimately, population and employment growth are two main factors driving a region’s housing market, and this may be why we are seeing an over 20% YoY increase in rents in many Sun Belt cities.”

Kings Logistics Center tops off

Celebrating the installation of the roof and the near-completion of the Kings Logistics Center warehouse in Fort Pierce, the project’s general contractor Catamount Constructors hosted a “topping off” event on March 28.

“Roofing a 664,176-square-foot building is a substantial undertaking and well worth celebrating,” said construction superintendent Thomas Naumann. “A topping off party is an opportunity to thank our workers, contractors and community partners.”

Naumann estimates that the Class A cross-dock facility will be completed in early May, with construction of the interior to take place once an end user’s requirements are known. Space is offered for lease from 300,000 square feet up to the full facility.

“The Kings Logistics Center is an anchor for the new Kings Highway jobs corridor,” said Pete Tesch, president of the Economic Development Council of St. Lucie County. “Based on industry averages, we anticipate that approximately 433 people will be employed here once a tenant or tenants are in place.”

The facility is located just off Exit 131 (Orange Avenue) on Interstate 95, with easy access to Florida’s Turnpike as well. St. Lucie County is located midway between Miami and Orlando, with a population of 20 million within a four-hour drive.

The center’s cross-dock design offers 40-foot clear height, 130 loading doors, and four drive-in doors with 284 trailer spots and 676 car parks on the 65-acre site.

Seefried Industrial Properties is the project’s developer. Upon completion of the shell, Affinius Capital (formerly USAA® Real Estate) will take ownership of the facility. For leasing information, contact Lee Morris, [email protected], or Michael Falk, [email protected], of Colliers at 407.782.8212 and 561.662.2624, respectively.

Port St. Lucie welcomes innovative human milk processing company

LactaLogics co-founder Glenn Snow (at right) during one of the company’s three human milk processing pilot runs at the TetraPak Pilot Plant in Denton, Texas. The TetraPak technology will be installed in LactaLogics new processing facility in Port St. Lucie.

LactaLogics, a mission-driven company dedicated to bringing more human milk to babies, is opening its headquarters and processing facility in Port St. Lucie.

“Although breast milk is vital to the health of premature infants, most rely on cow’s milk-based formula for nutrition due to the lack of access to human milk. To address this need, LactaLogics plans to collect excess milk from qualified donor moms across the United States and then gently process the milk to meet the unique needs of premature infants,” said LactaLogics co-founder Chelly Snow.

“The goal is to make more human milk available to hospital NICUs (neonatal intensive care units) and parents across the country. Families will finally have better access to human milk-based products, helping to improve the health of newborns while supporting moms who struggle with breastfeeding,” Snow said.

With multiple patents filed, the company has tested and refined its systems and will build its facility at the former Liberty Medical building at 8883 U.S. Highway 1. Significant capital and equipment investments, extensive renovations and upgrades are planned for the 60,000-square-foot building. The company plans to hire an additional 60 full-time workers at 107% of St. Lucie County’s average wage.

“Port St. Lucie is the ideal home for us because it offers critical infrastructure and a desired workforce,” said Snow. “We’re excited to build a high-tech manufacturing facility, bringing more jobs to the Treasure Coast.”

“It’s an excellent project. It’s definitely something that is very different than we are used to seeing. It’s going to serve a great need, not only in our community but probably around the entire country,” said Port St. Lucie Mayor Shannon Martin during the March 27 city council meeting. “It’s very exciting to see development happening on the east side. I think, coupled with what’s going to come forward with our master plan with City Center, it’s going to really boost the entire area.”

“We always talk about local businesses and local citizens having the opportunity to bring their business to Port St. Lucie. The owners of LactaLogics are residents of Councilwoman Morgan’s district,” said Port St. Lucie Vice Mayor Jolien Caraballo. “It’s wonderful to know we are going to have a new business utilizing an old space that’s needed to be filled for a while, providing jobs and, more importantly, economic impact to the eastern side of the city.”

“The Economic Development Council has been working with LactaLogics, as Project Gala, for more than a year and we are proud to have the headquarters and processing facilities for a company with such a compelling mission located here in Port St. Lucie,” said Pete Tesch, president of the Economic Development Council of St. Lucie County. “The opening of LactaLogics also adds to our community’s growing life sciences sector, joining Cleveland Clinic’s Florida Research and Innovation Center and Florida International University’s Center for Translational Science.”

The incentive package for LactaLogics will include expedited site plan and permitting; ad valorem tax exemptions for tangible personal property only at 100% for the first five years, then at 90%, 80%, 60%, 40% and 20% for the next five years; mobility and impact fee mitigation and an opportunity for a Job Growth Investment Grant.

About LactaLogics

LactaLogics is on a mission to improve the lives of the world’s smallest, most vulnerable patients. Dedicated to purpose-driven, transparent, and collaborative practices, the company combines innovative technology and holistic donor care to bring more human milk to babies.

Members of the event committee were Phyllis M. Gillespie, Martha Clark, Stanley Campbell, Jr., G. Sean Schley, Earnie Ellison, Jean Laws Scott, Claire Nash, Synthia Snow, Tishunda Tullis, Michelle Jerger, Lynn Solomon, Debra Williams and Raelyn Holmes.
