I just wonder how many people that think this is a great idea live in Dogwood Park or Pilgrim Hills? If you don’t live here it won’t affect you, that’s why you think it’s great idea. If the shoe were on the other foot it would be a different story. Living just a mile away will have no effect whatsoever. Now if you live within a quarter mile radius of the intersection it’s a different story. It’s always a great idea when it’s not in your backyard or few doors down from your house. Sure it’s great that the business wants to expand. I was a beekeeper for 15 years so understand the bee keeping business. I support it fully but I’m not a fan manufacturing, processing & warehousing being put in a quiet residential community. What happens should the business fail a few years down the road? Who moves in then? Well it’s too late to say anything at that point. There’s one two miles south & maybe seven miles north. What it boils down to is some like it & some don’t, welcome to America.

A kennel of Barking dogs next door to the property, disturbing the whole neighborhood, day and night, & people complaining about a warehouse??? I doubt we will ever hear a truck coming or going….

Sounds like a good business to me. I am always amazed when I get on here and people talk about living in the country and how it will change. “LIVING IN THE COUNTRY” is nothing more than placing your home near neighbors who own a lot of land and they ALLOW you to feel some solitude. Eventually they will die, move or sell and the “country” will be gone. The only way to enjoy this solitude is for you to buy MANY acres of land to insulate yourself. Otherwise, your solitude and “country living” is on someone else’s dime and will eventually go away no matter how much you complain.

Congratulations, East Hill Honey! As a fellow beekeeper and a north county resident who is extremely interested in keeping the rural and agricultural properties of Molino amd North Escambia County from being overdeveloped, this project would definitely get my approval. For those who imagine trucks coming and going year round, the honey business (as far as harvesting and extracting) is a SEASONAL endeavour. A packaging facility would store the honey harvested each summer and could operate the remainder of the year as needed to store bulk honey harvests, prepare honey for bottling, and stage honey in retail packaging for distribution. East Hill Honey is already widely known throughout the panhandle, and already delivers regionally. This is only a processing facility to improve this agribusiness. I highly doubt any additional traffic in/out of their existing facility would be a huge impact on traffic, the environment, OR to the rural asthetics of the area. We live in a community of much larger barns, cotton sheds, and other ag facilities and what East Hill Honey is proposing will not raise your taxes, likely won’t need additional infrastructure (as far as I can tell by the drawing) and would benefit the neighboring area by keeping a flourishing agribusiness from needlessly relocating.
