Lincoln Park Main Street presents Q3 report; commission approves $12,500 disbursement

Lincoln Park Main Street presented its third‑quarter report for April 1–June 30, 2025, to the Fort Pierce City Commission on Aug. 4. Presenter Pamela Carrithers summarized economic‑vitality work (a business inventory of 96 businesses inside the district), a vacant/occupied commercial‑property database (including land use, building square footage and historical character), facade and signage grant assistance and a recently completed historic survey funded by the Florida Division of Historical Resources.

Carrithers described promotional efforts including partnership with the Levitt AMP Fort Pierce concert series and Jazz on Moore’s Creek, social‑media campaigns that increased reach and engagement, volunteer engagement for the quarter (110 hours), and grant applications submitted to state and national cultural agencies and foundations. She highlighted partnerships working on the Oaks at Moores Creek affordable housing effort and marketing to targeted buyers (first responders and teachers).

Commissioners asked staff to provide a clearer, standardized set of quarterly performance measures for both Main Street organizations. After discussion, the commission approved the disbursement of $12,500 to Lincoln Park Main Street (consent item 11d) by roll call. Commissioners also discussed aligning both Main Street organizations’ reporting schedules for the fourth quarter to ease public comparison and decision making.
