I have a business in downtown Stuart that sits in between Ocean and Osceola, the building behind me is empty and the back area of it is against my building . The Place was overgrown and I was having trouble with kids and homeless hanging around . Troy came right over and assessed situation and had things locked up and had it mowed . Truly helped a lot and grateful to have him be readily available to help me . He also helped me with concerns regarding very large apartment complex being built out front of my development . Thank you Troy I appreciate you ! Elizabeth “Betsy” Buttles — Elizabeth Buttles
