Good morning, Palm Bay.
Palm Bay received $3.5 million from Florida’s Job Growth Grant Fund to extend wastewater infrastructure at Phoenix Business Park (a move set to unlock nearly 1 million sqft of industrial and commercial space and boost high-value industries) and enhance local business opportunities.
Horticulture expert Sally Scalera of UF/IFAS advises Palm Bay residents that yellow or brown palm fronds may signal nutrient deficiencies such as low potassium and magnesium.
She recommends using controlled-release palm fertilizer - avoiding synthetic turf fertilizers until Oct. 1 and refraining from over-pruning to help palms recycle nutrients.
Daybreak is offering a fully at-home FDA-cleared sleep test to help Palm Bay residents check if persistent snoring may indicate sleep apnea.
The test is worn on the finger overnight, costs $129.95, saving $30, and provides physician-reviewed results without an overnight sleep lab visit.
A Palm Bay family is rallying behind their nearly three-year-old son (Oakland Brooks Haber) after he was diagnosed with B-cell Leukemia following unusual symptoms from a recent illness.
He received urgent care at Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and now benefits from community support via a SupportNow account.
Heritage upset Viera 28-22 on Sept.
4 behind three offensive touchdowns and three takeaways (a fumble return sealed the win). The Panthers are 1-2 and will host district play at home on Sept. 11.
