Best Use is a Feed Lot, Stockyard/Auction, Dairy Barn, Swine Parlour and The 4H (Future Farmers of America, for you city slickers ) test farm.
City Slickers that want to walk (not ride a horse ) to the YMCA, Watch a hockey game, catch a baseball in the stands, eat at the Tin Cow, go to the Arts at the Saenger Theater, Watch the dueling pianos at Rosie O’Grady or Adult entertainment at Sammy’s , why not buy in STUDERVILLE? Your life will be perfect without traffic and Flooding Eleven Mile Creek.
We don’t need stupid people from DC, New York, or West Coast to destroy our lives, they can be miserable anywhere, but not here!

@interestedcitizen–I have lived in Beulah a long time and I, along with the VAST majority of citizens I serve in Beulah, know we have too much residential out here already and our infrastructure cannot keep up with what the private sector has already built. Most folks with whom I speak have told me loudly and clearly they want NO HOUSING on OLF-8, Period. I know there will be a compromise and I may have to accept some–but I prefer to add amenities for the residents, a park, a trail, a post office, retail, and some restaurants along the frontage of 9-Mile road so the county can recoup some of the 18 Million spent to acquire this property. I’ll support that, along with good jobs, high tech, clean tech, better than average paying in nicely designed facilities. Remember—this property was acquired with money from the entire county with the vision of creating jobs—-for the whole county. Although we have compromised and have said we will do some mixed use development on the site along with some amenities for nearby residents like me–I will not accept residential housing density that is 4-stories high with 60 dwellings per acre. This is the ridiculous recommendation I found in emails from DPZ to our county planning group. 60 dwellings per acre?!? They must think this is Boston, not Beulah! NO, I won’t support that because we don’t need that, nobody I have talked to in Beulah want it, it would blow up our traffic issues even worse than they are already, and oh, by the way, did I mention the fact that NOBODY out here wants 60 units per acre on OLF-8. NOBODY—-(except DPZ, one large employer that does not get to call the shots, and a few dozen residents and some developers that want to make fast cash. I won’t vote for it.

The DPZ product was and is very clear. Folks who continue to say – “No more housing” – don’t understand how town centers work. Housing is required to make a town center work – and certainly required to support the Market Plan. Before muddying the water with silly statements, work to understand the analysis – you can’t have the things you want without housing.

Someone noted “…residential is not needed.” Clearly it is – please review the real estate market status, price increases – again, making this sort of unfounded and illogical statement means you missed an opportunity to weigh in on the real issues.

The real issue continues to be the destruction of our part of the county with a commerce park – something Jeff Bergosh so clearly supports – for some unnecessary and unknown reason – perhaps just the usual political support based reasons

Bergosh’s legacy? Someone responded to an article in the Pensacola News Journal calling the mess that will be built from OLF 8 as “Jeff’s Folly.” Escambia’s citizens will live with this gross failure of government forever.

The email nonsense brought up by Bergosh is just a smoke screen – I’m sure everyone sees this. He should feel embarrassed – and, folks should b working directly against him in every legal way.

At the end of the day we probably all agree on the need to rid the county of Bergosh at the next election.

I work right next to this and know two things. residential is not needed. Amenities are needed. Many a time I will be leaving work and want to do a little shopping or see the sights of the area. I love this area but there is NOTHING there. Just houses and farmland. Both are great but lets get something different. 2 years ago when I bought a house I could have bought out there and chose not to because I would still have to come to other parts to shop……NO. The area is limited and will be if wise decisions do not happen.

Vote

You keep sending them back, you are to blame.

I voted for fresh blood, perhaps you should consider similar action.

Your choice, your vote. Never let infatuations govern your decision making processes.

NO MORE HOUSING. Plenty of current and future sub-divisions outside of OLF-8 that people can move into.
