Airport News, New Roads, and Something about Millage
Interesting morning in the news. The deadline for bids on the old airport site was Monday. 4 bids were received with offer details to be released in about 8 days. The site is approximately 700 acres with water-frontage. This could be an awesome place for a sweet development. A link to the article can be found here.
St. Joe agreed to sell approximately 4000 acres to the State of Florida for approximately $46 million. This will be huge for our local growth. A link to the article can be found here.
-Edited 9/28/06: Just got word of some of the roads they are looking at widening:
SR 22 in Bay and Gulf Counties
SR 12 in Gadsden and Liberty Counties
SR 20 in Bay, Calhoun and Liberty Counties
US 98 in Gulf, Franklin, Jefferson, and Wakulla Counties
SR 71 in Calhoun and Gulf Counties
The last article goes something like this: Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah; blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah; blah blah blah blah.
Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah; blah blah blah blah. *Whispers – The Panama City Commission unanimously voted to decrease the millage from 5 to 4.1722 mills in light of public outcry over high valuations. To understand, click here.
- Edited 9/28/06: The intention of the "Blah's" was not to signify unimportance, it was only to emphasize that the reporter through in a pretty important decision made by the commission at the tail end of a seemingly unrelated article.
