A county commissioner reported attending a community meeting at the Piney Point Museum where Offshore Aviation Group (OAG), the purchaser of the Piney Point terminals (the former Stuart Petroleum plant), presented plans for the property and answered residents’ questions.
The commissioner said turnout was strong and described the company’s presentation as fair and informative. He said the community voiced understandable concerns about site changes and that OAG indicated it will clean up the site, emphasized an interest in local history, and has a stated "very good neighbor" policy. The commissioner noted OAG recorded the presentation and posted it to YouTube so residents could review answers and the company’s statements.
Why it matters: The Piney Point site is an industrial terminal with a history that has prompted local concern about environmental and community impacts. Public meetings and recorded presentations give residents access to company plans and responses to questions; the commissioner framed OAG’s outreach as a sign that the company is seeking community input.
Supporting details: The commissioner encouraged residents of St. George's Island, Tall Timbers, Piney Point and Valley Lee to view the recorded presentation and attend future meetings. He did not provide details on any permits, remediation schedules, or regulatory approvals required for cleanup and redevelopment.
