Amendment 3: The people spoke, and officials vow to adapt

Nearly 65 percent of voters on and off the island supported passage of Amendment 3, which raises the homestead property tax exemption from $50,000 to $150,000, starting next year, and increases it to $250,000 in 2028. That was a higher percentage than the 62 percent of yes votes statewide.

Replacement of hurricane-ravaged boardwalk begins in this Florida city

Despite last week's torrential rain and flooding, work on the new Humiston Beach Park boardwalk began as scheduled without issue, city officials said. The 50-year-old boardwalk was destroyed in 2022 by Hurricane Nicole. The boardwalk was deemed unsafe and subsequently demolished. City officials have spent months planning to rebuild it. For most of November, people around the area likely will hear noise as concrete pilings are put in place, said Vero Beach Public Works Director Matthew Mitts. "They're going to start picking up these big concrete pilings with cranes and driving them into the ground," Mitts said. Once the pilings are in place, the actual boardwalk will be constructed on top of the pilings, Mitts said. Like its predecessor, the new boardwalk will to have a concrete deck, he said. It will be the same height and about the same length, possibly a little shorter so city workers can drive on the north side of the park to access the beach, Mitts said. "Before, the boardwalk blocked us from driving onto the beach," he said. The new boardwalk will remain roughly the length of Humiston Beach Park, he said. Beach closed during construction Humiston Beach Park and the playground remain

Tight Florida congressional race, others deserve attention | Opinion

A week after Election Day, I was thinking about a few Treasure Coast races, including one that would have made Indian River County history. I say “would have,” because, based on results from the Florida Division of Elections Nov. 12, Vero Beach native Dan Green trailed five-term U.S. Rep. Darren Soto of Kissimmee, by 1,506 votes in Florida’s new Congressional District 9. Indian River County has never had a hometown representative in the U.S. House. Green, a military defense expert and officer in the Navy reserves with extensive service in war zones, planned to be the first . The candidates' vote totals were separated by about 0.52%, just above the mandatory recount margin of 0.5%. And, a week after Election Day, Green continued to decline comment on the race. Soto, whose campaign spent about $1.2 million more than Green’s, announced plans to open a regional office in Vero Beach. Treasure Coast 2012 congressional race not as close, but ... As of early Nov. 10, some media outlets called the race for Soto based on state data, others did not until that afternoon. NBC News initially reported that day Green would have to win 95.5% of 1,700 overseas ballots that potentially

Florida School Board reviewing applicants for next superintendent

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — A dozen candidates, including two current school district employees, have applied to be the next school superintendent. Superintendent David Moore notified the School Board in August he plans to retire in June. The board set a tight timeline for receiving applications, soliciting public input, interviewing finalists and naming a replacement for Moore by mid-December. The board wants to select and hire a new superintendent who can work with Moore before he leaves. Moore, who became superintendent in 2019, is credited with leading the Indian River County School District through transformational change, helping it improve from 38th in the state to fifth. The district has received four consecutive "A" grades from the Florida Department of Education. Application deadline was Oct. 26. The next step is for the School Board to review applications at a public workshop, 12:45 p.m. Nov. 17. Finalists are expected to be named at the workshop, with interviews to begin next month. The two internal candidates — William Dodds and Christina Jacobs — have extensive experience within the school district. Dodds has been district chief financial officer since earlier this year. He previously was principal of Sebastian Charter Junior High from 2017-2026 and an
