The public will have their first opportunity next week to view the latest proposals for redeveloping the iconic “Big Blue” power plant in Vero Beach.
While the selection for a developer of the “Three Corners” project is still a few months away, WPTV has learned what the first element will be.
Stu Keiller spoke to WPTV on Wednesday, pointing out a former wastewater tank that will be taken down for what he hopes will become a crown jewel on the Indian River Lagoon. That’s where the Youth Sailing Foundation is building a new community sailing center at the base of the Alma Lee Loy Bridge.
WPTV“Our main mission is to use sailing to teach life lessons,” Keiller said.
The goal is to create a sailing culture where neither age nor income serves as a barrier.
Nearly $5 million has been raised for the new center with a groundbreaking ceremony scheduled for May.
Keiller said they are the perfect kickstart to the Three Corners project.
