Escambia County Names Top 3 Legislative Asks
November 30, 2022
The Escambia County Commission has picked their top three legislative priorities for the upcoming session.
The county will ask the Florida Legislature to:
- Complete the FDOT Work Plan, which includes a Beulah I-10 interchange
- Provide $2.5 million in funds for a wastewater lift station at OLF-8 on Nine Mile Road
- Reform forĀ residential property insurance in the state
Other items were discussed, but commissioners ultimately decided to limit their asks to three items.

@Citizen
The Alabama Senior Citizen property tax exemption is only for the state portion of property tax. Local taxes still apply.
I’m happy they are asking for reform of the property insurance. They should also take a look at PROPERTY TAX. It would be nice if senior citizens could be exempt from property tax on their residences, like they are in Alabama.
OLF-8 ???? This is a project making millions of dollars for Escambia County…..NO the State taxpayers should not give them one more cent! Escambia removed an entire section of land from the tax rolls in Santa Rosa thanks to a dysfunctional SRC government agreement. Hmmmm wonder who got paid for that?
Who’s priorities are these? As far as the FDOT Work Plan is concerned, what ever happened to the Longleaf Extension from Blue Angel Parkway to Creighton Road? We need another East-West thoroughfare between Brent Lane/Michigan and 9 Mile Road. This was on the books long before the Beulah Road I-10 Exit. Why isn’t ECUA asking for funds for a wastewater lift station. If it’s funded–does the County just give it to them, and lose we one of our Asks? Just Curious.
