NORTH PORT – A live oak tree believed to be 100 years old was relocated to its new home near the banks of an 80-acre excavated lake in Wellen Park Tuesday, courtesy of workers from Houston, Texas-based Environmental Design, who started the custom moving process 18 months ago.
The 800-foot move will allow the tree, which has a diameter of 96 inches, to become a showpiece and provide immediate shade for people visiting the lake, which is being crafted as the heart of Downtown Wellen Town Center.
The $1 million tree relocation effort includes 26 trees in all.
The process involves pruning back roots to define a root ball for each tree.
NORTH PORT – City officials and developer representatives marked the latest step in the transformation of the city of North Port and evolution of Wellen Park Wednesday, with a formal groundbreaking for a new $13-million, 24,300-square-foot City of North Port Public Safety Building on the southwest corner of Tamiami Trail and Preto Boulevard.
Underscoring just how quickly the landscape of Sarasota County’s largest city is changing, online mapping services do not yet recognize the project’s address, 19955 Preto Blvd.
“I’m just so excited and grateful today to be here and celebrate this next phase within our city,” said North Port Mayor Jill Luke, who recalled following the progress of North Port and the area now known as Wellen Park two decades ago, when she lived in Manatee County.
