A. Yes, a time capsule is buried near the Police Department building on the City Hall campus. It was dedicated on Sept. 17, 1987, in commemoration of the Bicentennial of the United States. It is to be opened Sept. 17, 2037, after 50 years. Contents include a Bicentennial flag, histories of St. Lucie County and the Treasure Coast, a reproduction of the U.S. Constitution, a special edition of the Port St. Lucie Mirror weekly newspaper, three daily newspapers, a letter from the St. Lucie County Commission, pictures of the county commission and the City Council, a Mets cap, Coke bottle, reports from the Recreation Department (which arranged the time capsule) and play list from radio station WPSL.
The time capsule was moved to its current location in December 1990 when construction began on the new $5.8 million Police Department. The original location under a "Liberty Tree," collided with plans for the large retention pond that was part of the plans for the new building.
Another time capsule was buried on the grounds of the Port St. Lucie Botanical Gardens in April 2011, during the city's 50th anniversary celebrations.
