Pensacola still has very little to offer young families who need stabilizing incomes to offset the high costs of living here. All we really have is Banking and Retail; no major Manufacturing or Service Headquarters. We even lost our major Military support operations, like the Naval Aviation Rework Facility and Naval Supply Center. I'll bet the new Space Force laughed at the application.

They are only in it to line their pockets and get that ego boost they need. Elected officials stop caring and start blaming the second they get your vote.

Alabama builds cars and airplanes, Georgia builds everything, Mississippi builds ships, spacecraft and refineries. What do we build? Nursing homes and hospitals, law suit courts and banks!!! If the local economy is to survive and grow we must develop a manufacturing base to support higher incomes for skilled workers. Never had a chance!

An invitation should not be extended until there is proof of positive impact in the area. Take care of home before you offer assistance to a neighbor.

Agree, nearer the Space Center is a more logical choice yet curious why our area fell short. Thank you. William,
