North Port Now: Jul. 7, 2025 | Parks & Rec Master Plan & Myakkahatchee Creek Clearing

This week on North Port Now, we’re talking about what’s happening across the city this July—from honoring our veterans to shaping the future of our parks and improving city services. We preview the upcoming groundbreaking for the Circle of Honor, a new space recognizing veterans of all U.S. military branches. Plus, find out how you can get involved in the Parks & Recreation Master Plan through two public workshops or an online survey. You’ll also hear how the City’s online permitting system, Accela, is streamlining services and cutting wait times for permits. And we check in with Deputy Public Works Director Tricia Wisner about a major debris removal effort along Myakkahatchee Creek that supports stormwater flow and flood prevention. Links and Resources:• Circle of Honor Project Info: NorthPortFL.gov/CurrentProjects• Parks & Rec Master Plan & Survey: NorthPortFL.gov/ParksAndRecMasterPlan• Online Permitting (Accela): NorthPortFL.gov/Permitting
