What does it take to plan a Concert Series? Who figures out which bands will bring in big crowds? How much staff is needed to pull off a great night of music?
Well, that's where Linda McCarthy comes in. She's the City's executive director of business development, and on Episode 36 she shares insider information about how she gets bands like Styx, Little River Band, Diamond Rio, Scotty McCreery and Everclear to make tour stops in Port St. Lucie. If we ask nicely, she also might tell us who's coming to the MIDFLORIDA Event Center stage this year!
Another part of Linda's job is to figure out cool ways to generate revenue for the City, so we're able to put on even bigger and better events, seminars and shows for residents.

It's hard to imagine Port St. Lucie without the majestic Crosstown Parkway Bridge, which spans 2 miles and 4,000 feet above the North Fork of the St. Lucie River. After 40 years, and a few bumps in the road, the bridge finally opened to traffic Sept. 28, 2019, and the City has a lot to celebrate.
On Episode 33 of PSL On The Mic, Beth Zsoka, Public Works executive project manager for community outreach, and Frank Knott, project manager with the Community Redevelopment Agency, reminisce about working side by side on the project and share information that proves the bridge is doing its job: alleviating traffic on two of the City's most heavily traveled roads.

We're a few weeks into the new school year, so we wanted to highlight our school resource officers and the vital role they play in keeping students and teachers safe.

SROs not only help create a safe learning environment; they also foster positive relationships with youth, handle criminal complaints and routine calls for service on campus, teach classes, mentor at-risk youth and lots more, including offering hugs when needed!

Mayor Shannon Martin joins us on PSL On The Mic to talk about two important topics: taxes and the budget.
During its Summer Workshop, City Council was presented with the City Manager's proposed budget for FY 2024-25, and will officially approve it at the end of September. To be transparent, and to make sure residents' questions are answered, there will be two informational sessions, one in person Aug. 27 at the botanical gardens, and one virtually Aug. 29. There also are two public hearings, Sept. 9 and Sept. 23, where residents can share their opinions or concerns about the budget.
Public participation in budgeting helps build trust between the City and its residents, and increases legitimacy and credibility in financial matters.

Regular physical activity is crucial for maintaining overall health and well-being. It improves cardiovascular health, increases strength and endurance, enhances mood and reduces the risk of chronic diseases.
That's why, on Episode 29, we chat with Fitness Coordinator Christiana Marasa and Recreation Manager Anne Stadius from the fitness division of Parks & Recreation. Christiana and Anne tell us how the City's fitness programming and fitness centers can help members achieve their health and exercise goals. They also talk about Rock Steady Boxing, a non-contact boxing program designed specifically for individuals with Parkinson’s disease.
