PORT ST. JOE 

Visions for a Model of Resilience

History, Ecological Impacts, and Conceptualizing our Community

The University of Florida’s Florida Resilient Cities (FRC) Program has engaged in a two-year journey to support the community of Port St. Joe through research and design as it seeks a more resilient future. The outcomes of FRC’s two years of work in Port St. Joe are a range of community engaged projects that highlight Port St. Joe’s collective will to not only survive but to thrive in its coastal environment. In these two years, FRC organized several workshops, coordinated ten independent research studies, engaged over 30 faculty, as many as 100 students, twenty-four local, regional, and national organizations, and more than one hundred local participants.
