@ local yokel ;
Escambia County IS NOT managing the $3.6 mil. It is under IFAS, Gainesville and 4H foundation. The county has no say in the expenditure of those monies. It might be easier to use if there was a better local control of its use.. The current control makes it almost impossible to use in ways that might be beneficial to local 4H wants/needs and .desires. Look up Escambia 4H foundation members in Google or Escambia 4H.There ,is t he list of people that have the largest say on expenditures.

It is wonderful that the 4-H’ers were given this grant! Thank you, it will be put to use… What is sad is that the money from the LBC is being ‘managed’ by the county.

GREAT GRANT!
Maybe there is more grant monies out there. I would love to see cabins and a lake to match LBC and there is more land there available to add on to and make that facility even better.
I and other ex-4Hers have seen a lot of facilities and I have a concern with the building approach being utilized.

What a wonderful way to give back to the community you grew up in. Way to go Brett. I see my two bus babies Stewart and Rayleigh(?).
