This is a good thing for Pensacola. Been here all my life, and it’s nice to finally see the city trying to put us in a good economic condition. Escambia is one of the poorest counties out there, and people are complaining we will be getting extra tax revenue out of this so instead of our property tax. The growth has brought so many wonderful things to this otherwise boring and sleepy city.

I don’t understand why the county can’t hold out of the sale enough property to build a new school (or 2) since they are all overcrowded at the moment. Why should the county have to buy back property that it already owns?

Remember this people no high paying jobs will come.
The county now has the land to be to be sold to his friend D R. .then we the county
can buy it back to build a high school?
Mr Jeff I will take dinner ! Please leave the land as is.
Then we all win.
Escambia County needs this land.
Not for sale!!!

We really don’t need anymore subdivisions in Beulah. I thought there were already plans for this land. Our county comissioners have let us down. It’s all about the money. Just have to wonder how much of a kick back they got!

If I am not mistaken…isn’t there a cheesecake factory in Ensley already??? Close to Hersheys Ice Cream on the north side of 9-mile road??
businesses are still shutting down because of the lack of people willing to work… a weak labor force is the result of too much government payouts…interestingly enough mom and pop store could flourish because they work themselves. If customers would just support us..

We as residents of this once proud community are tired of being kicked while we are on the ground. This District One Person that we are all learning is not at all interested in our Community, you are short on ears and long on mouth! Judgement day is coming one day and I can honestly say that I will stand before those gates and take mine. Wonder if he can do the same? Stands to reason that enough citizens show support for our community, we can have the voice to curb such enthusiasm from said officials! This deal has been done well before it was voted on. You would think that if the fingers were being pointed at him, he would react but of course he has stayed silent. This will not go away. Citizens of Beulah, highest bidder is not always the best result. Keep up the good fight and pray for our Community.

Thank you, Jeff, for answering my question. I have ask others on this forum and not gotten a response.

Dave Lamb, You are correct, 4-H got screwed big time. What the county gave them is an insult as to what they took from them at the Matt Bell 4-H center.
