FORT PIERCE – St. Lucie County residents will have to wait one more week to find out whether they will be voting for a new trauma care center at Lawnwood Regional Medical Center & Heart Institute.

County commissioners were to decide Tuesday afternoon whether to allow a special election June 12 for a new property tax to raise $7 million a year for the Treasure Coast's first trauma center, but hospital officials asked to delay their presentation until the commission's 6 p.m. April 3 meeting.
