Drainage, Roads, Infrastructure.?
Not seeing anything about that.
Drove past several “retention ponds” today and they were indeed retaining the water runoff from last night and today’s rain and not seeming to be draining at all.

Where is the Washerwoman’s Creek project for the “Day lighting” of the stream under Spring Street downtown Pensacola?

Wendell, sounds like where the folks in Brownsville would go to be one with nature.
Like several other entries it sounds like a great way to waste some money.

“Under the RESTORE Act, amounts in the Trust Fund will be available for programs, projects, and activities that restore and protect the environment and economy of the Gulf Coast region.”

Yes the words “and economy” are in the title.
But some projects really have to be stretched to fit the intent of the RESTORE Act.

What is the Brownsville Nature Trail? Literally nothing about it online.

I was recently in Chattanooga and found it very unappealing.
Other then the tourist traps outside of town.

Good list, but nothing to make our area more attractive to business. For the first time in a long time we acutally have some real funding and sidewalks are the best we can do? People should look at what the city of Chattanooga TN did. They brought in broadband connectivity and business flocked to the area.

Pensacola, you say you want to be green, then do something bold!
