W the megayachts? W the jobs?
These are the questions.
As we calculate the secret date of September 1, I am concerned, like our community, about the status of the promised mega-yacht compatibility facility, approximately 3 years later, when they asked taxpayers $25 billion directly to buy port properties.
After decades of reading all the alternatives, it has become transparent that the reproach of megayachts is the ultimate logical and productive use of Fort Pierce Harbor’s assets to create critical jobs and bring prosperity to our community. The gigantic and upcoming position in the megayacht renewal market is so neglected in the United States that big-block owners are renting a boarding station to move their yachts for primary maintenance and rebuke.
At the time, it seemed that the local government that owned the port’s assets would be very close to this opportunity. Unfortunately, the recent revelation has shown that a port manager without revelling or having contacts on the megayacht refuses to distribute a request for qualifications, lost content and clarity is never very conducive to attracting potential operators qualified as redevelopment of megayachts.

In addition: St. Lucia’s contract to bring megayacht facilities to Fort Pierce Harbor
After an extended process punctuated by much controversy, St. Lucie County entered into a contract with a vendor that agreed to build and operate a mega-yacht refit operation.
The county fulfilled in a timely manner with its own obligations, adding the demolition of the site’s largest building. All other infralayout innovations required to launch complete megayacht forwarding compatibility operations, adding the world’s largest lift acquisition, the towing hold design required for the lift and the implementation of a strong functional link, had to be finished and implemented through September. .
To date, boat elevator, no sliding lane and no execution bond. More importantly, based on what I have seen, evidence or indication that a large apple of supplier deliverables may be in position in September or in another big apple for the foreseeable future. As soon as I know, none of those corporations have started.
Multiple public requests to the county and a credit report requested independently through Dun-Bradstreet demonstrate me the seller’s ability to finance the multimillion-dollar investment required to be operational in just two months.
In addition, the force majeure (force majeure) clause of the contract was initiated, in which the county may also grant the merchant a two- or three-month extension of the applicable disposition times with the pandemic emergency declared through the Governor, the specific contract prohibits the use of force majeure for the relief of consistent monthly rental bills from September 1 to the volume of $91,667.

We believe that the county has a direct obligation to enforce the terms of the contract and, if the terms agreed through the merchant do not appear to be fulfilled, the county will have to claim the contract null and void and sell the valuables to qualified and willing individuals Buyers committed to design a mega-yacht of global elegance that have compatibility with their own currencies while delivering these valuable assets on tax lists and reduced the a lot of jobs promised. critical to our community.
