📰 News we're reading
• Property values see modest increase across this Florida county (tcpalm.com) — Fellsmere property owners are seeing the fastest-rising taxable values in Indian River County, with a 10% jump that will shape local tax bills and city budgets for 2026-27. While homes here still cost less than beachside areas, their values are climbing faster, driven by new construction and a strong market. Residents should watch for TRIM notices in mid-August outlining their updated assessments. 
• Direct Relief Invests $5 Million to Keep Florida Health Centers Powered During Hurricanes (directrelief.org) — Fellsmere’s Treasure Coast Community Health clinic now has new solar-plus-battery backup power, part of a $5.2 million statewide effort to keep health centers running through hurricanes and outages. The project helps protect refrigerated medications, medical equipment, and basic care for local patients when the grid fails. Additional installations are underway across South and Central Florida to bolster disaster resilience.
