SMART St. Augustine

SMART St. Augustine is making the nation’s oldest city the smartest city, while preserving its historic charm and character. We just received a $12M RAISE grant from USDOT to make this vision a reality!

The SMART St. Augustine program will serve its 15,000 residents and six million annual visitors by leveraging technology, data sharing and collaboration while preserving the historic feel for future generations.

Some projects are already being piloted, like the ParkStAug app and solar smart trash bins on St. George Street. Yet, that’s just the beginning.
