of the year to achieve sustainable cash flows from its core
operations.
St. Joe intends to invest
approximately $30 million of capital over the next 12 months in its
Breakfast Point, RiverTown and Venture Crossings projects, as part
of its corporate strategy to capitalize on renewed investor

the capital to advance infrastructure construction supporting
revenue-generating industrial, warehouse and office developments
within these projects, which will likely have a positive economic
impact on the respective regions in the long run.
