If you will look, there is only one location (#2) that is near a River, the rest are dry on ground! It would make sense that they would use option #2, but then I’m thinking that we won’t know what they decide until after the fact.

1) 308 acres off Holland Road (where Cox Road formerly ran) from the Estes Estate, $1,000,000
2) 55 acres in two parcels near Courtney Road, including access to the Escambia River, from Campbell Partners, $202,380
3) 1.89 acres at 1570 Cox Road from Jonathan and Aimee Cabral, $145,000
4) 62 acres near the north end of Cox Road, between Cox and Camp roads, from Alex Davis of Pensacola, $248,000
5) 33 acres just south of 1570 Cox Road from Jean McCurdy Roose of Arizona, $117,250
6) 20 acres west of Roose parcel with just a small access to Cox Road, from Wesley and Victoria Henderson of Cantonment, $90,000
7) 100 acres in two parcels in the 200 block of Roach Road, $400,000

There is a reason that they are near rivers or large lakes. They use the river water, bays, or in a couple of cases large lakes for cooling.

Its just economics its more expensive to pull that much out of the ground when its almost free by comparison to use a river. They don’t even need it very clean just minor filtering.

We all know that when a company has plenty of money and clout behind it, they are going to get their way no matter the cost. They probaby will want to tap into the well waters for their benefits and put all of us northend residents on Pensacola turd water.

Thanks William for listening out for these very important issues concerning the northend that are usually hush hush and we are usually the last ones to know about them, until it’s too late!

This could be an effort to see what water reserves are out there in conjunction with the possible Nuc Plant. Gulf Power could be behind this by evaluating the total amount of water in the area . There has to be a certain amount of water to cool these reactors at all times and if the underground water tables are tapped to cool the reactors; will there be enough reserves to supply the population of the north end of the county!!! Lets do our homework folks !!!!

However, if there is some economic development issue not in the sunshine as of yet for north Escambia County, there might be a reason. However in watching the recent ecomonic development planning meeting, one would wonder if there is any meaning economic development going on, since the cities and county still can’t find concensus in who or in what form the economic development program should be handled.

The Players seem to be the private business sector, Chamber of Commerce, Cities and county. One thing we surely have in this county besides wtaer capacity is plenty of messed up politics.
