So another industrial park when 2 that I am aware of exist and they are still not being utilized to the potential they have…Commissioners need to answer this or squash it or both

To make this happen the county will have to give any bussines a big TAX break, that will give them an incentive to build in this county!

Escambia County is full of empty industrial parks. Look at the one on Hwy. 29 that they built and it only has one building in it. There are several almost empty ones in Pensacola. Maybe they need to bring businesses before they build anymore industrial parks.

I can see the said property as a benefit for heavy industry.
Industries that needs an abundant supply of cooling and process water from Escambia river to operate.
For intake water, there is always a need to get rid of it. Sometimes clean, sometimes polluted…

Its just a vision for a group of investors for the area. Most of the Industrial parks are struggling and really don’t see any new business coming to the area. How many Times do you hear hundreds of Jobs coming to the area and a new 500 homes subdivision in the works. Until this GREAT country Comes together things will stay the same.

What are you going to do with the highway 29 property north of Cantonment? I do not think I like this idea.

Yes, HELLO! There is an industrial park just north of Cantonment. It’s been sitting there empty for years, I believe it was one of the sites looked at to build the new jail and they didn’t even want it. People have griped about the paper mill until there’s only a third of the workforce there once was. Monsanto had it’s own problems and pulled out leaving Cantonment a slum area. NOW you want this pie-in-the-sky?

If this works, it could be great for our local economy. It’s a little close to where I live, so I’m not overly excited about the potential for more sprawl up in the pristine country that is Cantonment/Cottage Hill/Molino. However, it could drive up our property values. Either way, it would be awesome to have more heavy industry in our area. It was a sad day back in 2008 when all those folks got laid off from Solutia; so it would be nice to see our people working and making a good living again!

They will have to do the required environmental studies, and they will find some kind of rare salamander and that will shut the whole project down!

Isn’t there an industrial site in 29 in cantonment that was never finished it has no buildings in it?
