@ Bill
Yes what happened. When they just had to have Langley Bell 4H camp and were asked “why not get the OLF-8 landing field” we were told that the Navy would never give it up. Well as some say “That was a lie. . Look at where are today. A lot of side stepping.

We have a homelessness problem in Escambia County. A larger supply of housing and regulations preventing speculative house sales would help address that problem.

We have a wage problem in Escambia County. Cost of living has exploded over the last 40 years while wages have remained stagnant. Creating more commercial/industrial businesses would help address that problem.

We have a drug problem in Escambia County. People who can’t financially support their families legally are often resorting to crime. Again, a housing project like this would help address that problem.

If it walks like a duck it talks like a duck it’s probably a duck, something sounds fishy in regards to this property, I’m reminded of the soccer complex on 29 that got so many of our County Commissioners in trouble, deja vu?

We do not need any more apartments! Not do we need a industrial park. Leave all as a green space. Navy Federal has destroied enough of the beautiful property. Apartments everywhere empty apartments empty strip malls. LEAVE US ALONE.

“It looks like you’re trying to say ‘restaurant’ in your legend, DR Horton. Instead you typed ‘resturaunt.’ Would you like to run SpellCheck before submitting this legal contract to the county? No? Just leave it as-is?”

We have more development building now on Bridlewood road, another one recently completed off the same road, and more in so many new neighborhoods that it’s hard to remember them all. Beulah is not the country anymore.

Can we leave a little bit of forest for the other inhabitants of our area?

As usual the County Commissioners are not listening to the citizens or looking at what is best for the county and citizens. It’s the money. Approval of all development within Escambia County without the proper infrastructure in place and paid for by the developers is a dereliction of duty. There is a Master Plan approved… follow it. Pick a better partner for development too!

Bill;
We,the citizens of this community got together and realized what a stupid idea bringing an industrial park to our beautiful community was! For most people, they left the city life behind to build in the country. We didn’t like the noise and the traffic of the city. Unfortunately, the city moved to us! That included crime. We never had to lock our doors of our cars or our houses. You knew that if you went to Beulah, you didn’t mess around after dark! It was a respectable community. Now you say we need an Industrial Park? Not no but heck no. It’s bad enough that most people in these new over night sub divisions don’t know who their next door neighbors are! I challenge everyone to go on the state’s website for sex offenders and search a five mile radius of your home! We did not have this problem 30 years ago. No to an Industrial Park! That says I!
