Merritt Park Place Phase II

Phase II of the Merritt Park Place Infrastructure Improvements Project is in the process of being constructed for sewer and stormwater installation as well as sidewalk installation and some landscape improvements. Construction will take approximately six (6) months along Parnell, Tangerine, Hibiscus & Myrtice Streets. MIRA has applied and been awarded grant funds through the Department of Environmental Protection Water Advisory Panel to supplement the cost of the sewer and stormwater installation.

Key Benefits

As was the case with Phase I, the key benefits for Phase II are as follows:

• The elimination of approximately 150 aging or failed septic systems in close proximity to the Indian River Lagoon, resulting in a reduction of nutrients, toxins, and bacteriological loadings in the Indian River Lagoon.
• It is the vision of the Merritt Island Redevelopment Agency that Merritt Park Place will become a quaint and picturesque town center for all of Merritt Island with a pedestrian-friendly and aesthetically pleasing environment for both commercial and residential uses.
