The Village Council tried to push the county s offer another $1 million higher, but the county stood its ground this week after already rejecting Indiantown s counteroffer. Two days later, the Village Council unanimously accepted the $1.5 million.
The payment, money from the federal American Rescue Plan, is to improve water flow in the village, which will benefit Fire Rescue. I would like to thank the Martin County Commission for their gracious patience with us, and would like to thank this council for seeing the common sense of the issue and listening to the people in the community, Councilwoman Susan Gibbs Thomas said Thursday night.

JUPITER ISLAND Former County Commissioner Anne Scott, who was once engrossed in an email scandal that cost Martin County millions, is attempting a comeback in public office, and is focused on what’s ahead of her, not behind.
The one-term county commissioner and six-year Jupiter Island town commissioner is challenging Mayor Whitney Pidot, for a two-year Town Commission seat in Tuesday s nonpartisan municipal election.
Jupiter Island has 711 registered voters.
Citing frustration with “heavy-handed” leadership of her town’s government, Scott is making her first bid for public office since losing her Martin County Commission seat by 20 percentage points five years ago.
