Not a bad idea. If they did this and then just extended I-110 to 9 mile road instead of taking it all the way to I-65 I could see how this would work. Maybe even just extend it to the new beltway. It would be great for the growth of the north end of the county.

I did not read all the comments. Everyone needs to look at who has been buying all this propety up. It is funny how some people just start buying property before anyone knows of this projects. I still think the best idea is to extend I110 to 65 then you can branch off it to Pace and I10.

First off, for the people who say bring in the jobs, then build the road; that just cant happen. Any business leader will tell you, it looks at a few tings when picking a location. 1. Police and Fire protection 2. population in area and surround areas. 3. and transportation. Alot of businesses wont even look at northern pensacola because the lack of quality fire protection and road ways for easy travel for workers and commerce. Its 2012 not 1812. You guys complain of no jobs. But complain when you get a chance for a little bit of infrustructue. Think of all the jobs it would make just to build the road. and with roads come businesses. You cant have your cake (open county and wood) and eat it too (more jobs with no source)

At Lisa McCann: I’m not sure I got the complete translation of your comment…but it is a moot point. Prez Obama will have taken your guns and ammo long before this roadway opens up.

Pete, us small minded country folk are looking out for ourselves & you. For example: your driving on the beltway, in the middle of our shooting range& our huntin woods,thats right I said huntin not hunting,& we shoot & it hits you, the bullet on accident ? you gon b crying & praying to our GOD. Imagine that. Be careful what you say cause let me tell you something my friend everybody cries out to GOD,especially sinners on their way out.Some of us country folk is really not gonna worry ourselves over this article, chicks aint hatched yet. I could say more but i’m not. Nuff said, I think you might get the picture now.

I agree with you. NARROW MINDEDNESS is why nothing ever gets built! You have to have these infrastructurs like roads and easy acesss to the interstate to bring in commerce. Maybe then you wouldn’t have to live in escambia county and drive to Alabama to work. I live in the prurposed area now and would welcome the project and development that will follow. Look at Navy Federal., they are already expanding to another 300 jobs!

Don’t buy any stock in this project. If the “future projects and planning,” are approached with the speed of four-laning nine mile road between US 29 and I-10 is an indication…after all, this work has been studied for over 30 years. And the right-of-way is vacant, except for some pretty old, as in neat, oak trees.
