“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” This development treats Molino exactly as the current Administration is treating the Country. Trying to “pull the wool”over the eyes of the people and convince them it’s for their benefit, despicable!! This is not for anyone, but the developers and those making the money. I certainly hope and pray you support the people who voted you in and not this out of town “developer” who has decided we need to be “citified.” The LOVE of money IS the root of ALL evil” this proves it. May God’s will only, be done! If you are a believer, PRAY, PRAY, PRAY. He has the final say.

Has our County forgot what happened during Hurricane Ivan when Quintette Rd was the ONLY access between Santa Rosa and Escambia County? Yall might consider 8 lanes on HWY 29 before another housing project so residents can get the heck out of here if they need do.

The folks at the Fire Station can watch us shoot at the EXISTING GUN RANGE, right across the street…

I would wonder why the existing gun range is not marked on the map.

It only right in the middle of the proposal…

I am so irritated at the lack of care of this county for the wildlife and general woods. 4th generation Panhandle resident and it is RIDICULOUS how much has been bulldozed for “progress” this county has none of the benefit of good paying jobs, schools, infrastructure but we do have a high cost of living, high crime and violence, cater to tourist scum and some GREEDY county commissioners to boot. But hey there’s a beach. SMDH.

Stupidest idea I’ve ever heard of people move to Molino to get away from people, traffic and things of those such and it’s not wrong for wanting it to stay the way it is cause this is an entry way for more businesses and subdivisions to be installed here before we know it it’ll be business after business and subdivisions all the way down 29 it’ll be just like Pensacola

This type of development in this location has been planned for a long time. I know a little bit because I worked flagging the wetlands on this whole area in 2006 and lived here since 1970. Exit 3 has been buying parcels in the Sector Plan area since 2012. Now they own enough to exert pressure for development with a willing Board of County Commissioners.

Except they want to change the rules that the Sector Plan laid out to build a higher density=higher profits= higher tax revenue. This is another money grab.

It’s baked into the system, and if you want to stop it you have to be seen and heard. But it probably won’t work, and we’ll get some slapdash build and run like Beulah is dealing with right now.

One more thing. Folks love capitalism until someone else benefits. 75 years ago people moved to Cantonment to get away from the city. Can’t others move to the edge of the city and enjoy their life too?
