Why don’t they first secure some contracts, THEN build it!!!! Someone’s been watching ‘Field Of Dreams’ too many times!!! It does sound like some scheme to line someone’s pocket, or their buddies who owns a construction company or land clearing business.

Didn’t they already try a hi-tech park down by the civic center that still is completely void of any businesses? What about the industrial park that is already on 29? I would be willing to bet that if you followed the money you could see what this is all about. What a waste of natural resources.

I think this is the best thing that could happen to this area.. Bringing jobs to this area is great.. For instant, I have a daughter graduating with a Civil Engineering degree in 2 semesters.. Great job opportunities here at home.. Will help the economy greatly.. Life does change, nothing ever stays the same..

This is a large payola project that will expend tens of millions of dollars for plans and drawings but nobody will ever see any earth turned on this project. Funny how this plan sounds just like all those plans to develop north of UWF. And also the big road plan paid for with tax increment financing. Good thing the voters didn’t fall for that one! They had experts out the Wahoo, and time has shown they were all wrong.

We really need to focus on revitalizing existing developed areas instead of moving to new real estate

I challenge those in favor of this construction and those providing opinions on how well this will benefit the area to name one project in Escambia county that has created as many jobs as was initially projected.

“WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO LOOK AT THE CENTURY AREA” They probably did look at Century. It does not seem that Century has the vision, the infrastructure, or the existing work force to support a project this big. A town that cannot support fast food or gas stations most likely is not a viable candidate for a high tech manufacturing facility.

Good for the yuppies who desperately want this (the downtown polical clique and suburban hippies)
Bad for country folk that love the country and quiet. Bad for those who’s way of life will be killed or severely impaired. It will essentially push Ensley to Molino. Already got enough texting hunters and fools with 150hp bass boats on our tiny river who wanna play country but want a Starbucks on the corner. Sad.
