I agree with Wishful Thinker above. I would love to see that property used to build an urban town center (nice restaurants and shops with maybe an area for mini concerts/community gathering….and a free accessible parking garages) or a mini version of “downtown” Pensacola/Palafox street. The Beulah area is inundated with Dollar stores, storage units, car washes, gas stations and fast food, fast food, and more fast food. I love the Beulah area, but it looks a bit run down and junky as we continue to flood the area with these types of businesses. It would be so nice to have a few nice restaurants in the immediate area to be able to gather with friends and family for a good meal/drinks vs having to drive downtown.

Is Navy Federal going for their own town? The road traffic problem is not going to be solved just adding more lanes, eventually the lanes go back into regular size lanes causing another trafgic problem. Esc Co Commissioners are greedy, Navy Federal should have been placed further out off hwy 29 or etc not where so many people drive daily. But lets just continue to build more roads, drainage to make it more convenient for a privately owned business, so our county commissioners can pat their self on the back. Yes its bringing jobs but costing taxpayers.

A hospital and a high school should be a high priority for this area.

Good location for a medical marijuana growing (and testing site).

Make everyone a little less stressed.

Sooo, Escambia County traded land in Santa Rosa County so they could get land in Escambia? I did not know Escambia County owned land in Santa Rosa County,

Build a convention center/civic center replacement! If you build it they will come in the form of a hotel, retail, restaurants, etc. All with plenty of parking, easy access to the interstate and generating needed revenue for the area.

I sincerely hope the county doesn’t waste the last large piece of land in a good location near the interstate for a quick sale to buddy bidder in a classic Escambia County wink and a nod type deal.

Which do you think is going to happen?

We should name it after Commissioner Bergosh!! He took a political beating from the cheap seats no doubt.
