New townhomes are coming to Port Salerno after they were approved during a commissioner’s meeting this week.
Residents of a neighborhood just east of U.S. Highway 1 and Hydrangea Street will soon have a lot more neighbors.
Seventy-nine townhomes are going to be built on the neighboring property.
“I always envisioned something going in there,” Port Salerno resident Marcia Durham said. “I just didn’t know what.”
WPTVFor the last 10 years, Durham has lived in a home next to the lot that’s planned for the development.
“I don’t like it of course because we miss our little intimate community,” Durham said. “However, growth is inevitable.”
Martin County commissioners unanimously approved the project in a Tuesday meeting.
“This is a multifamily development, so it adds to the diversity of the homes that are available in Port Salerno,” Peter Walden, the deputy growth management director of Martin County, said. “We feel that it is a need that’s being fulfilled.”
