Incorporation

The Presidents Council established an Incorporation  Committee to explore whether forming a township between the Martin  County line and FPL power plant on Hutchinson Island was practical.  The  committee met for 4 months to perform a preliminary  evaluation at no cost.  If the result was to go forward, a budget would  have been developed and funding sources explored.

The recommendation by the committee was to discontinue the  project at this time, because there was no compelling reason to incorporate.  The sense that most residents had that were talked with  was that it would be costly to the taxpayers.  (Hobe Sound we found had done an Incorporation Study that cost $140K between  the feasibility study and PR campaign only to have the voters reject it  by 60 to 40 percent.)
