But what do the soil samples say about this property? People have a right to know more about that. I just hope they know that contamination travels. It doesn't just stay where it was originally deposited. Everyone has something to say and rightly so. But what do the soil samples say about this property?

I cant let you say that without responding! You must not know what that camp meant to so many youth of Escambia County . It was worth every cent ever spent on that camp facility. Langley Bell had a vision for that camp and donated it to 4H youth of this county to learn and develop into fine young adults that they became, This property was taken away by those in power that, like you, have no vision of its importance, The adult leadership got greedy and wanted selfishly to take it as you say for business. OLF 8 according to them was not available for NFCU. Loo0k at what transpired and where OLF8 is today. It is a sore thumb It took much fighting to get a smaller piece of land that was not near as nice as the 4H camp; Hwlp me 4F alumni to rebute Foridian. @ Floridian, ” Old useless 4 H camp” ?

We need more money flowing into this county! I was happy to see the old useless 4H camp nearby get turned into a Big Business. Please, less useless "green space" and more money! It is our God given right to hold dominion over the land and develop it for the most prosperity we can have. If you don't like it, you can leave whenever you want!

After all, this is a Republic. You work for The People. No commercial or industrial development on the north side of OLF-8. The county permitted hundreds of homes to be built across Frank Reeder of OLF-8. The neighborhoods aren't even at 100% capacity, but still there so many children headed to Kingsfield that the school district needs 2 busses just get all of them. These busses only stop on Frank Reeder east of Beulah Road. The planned road improvements will not make things safer for our children. Wider roads incentive faster driving. The north side of OLF-8 should be residential only. Commercial and industrial buildings should be on the Nine Mile side of the field. There's no risk to school children by doing this. The county's decision to allow the building of residential homes on Frank Reeder after acquiring OLF-8 and creating its master plan means the master plan needs to be revised. Our children deserve it. The only reason the master plan has industrial development planned for Frank Reeder is because Bergosh lives in the Nature Trail community across Nine Mile from Navy Federal Credit Union and doesn't want to see commercial and industrial buildings on his drive to/from home. The time for the commissioners to start making better decisions is passed. It's time for them to get on board with what the people say. That's their job as representatives. If 1 child is injured or killed because of their negligence it will result in an expensive lawsuit that cost a lot of money for the county but was completely avoidable if they had listened.

Guess any commissioner that wants to sell it all should go back and look at the old green pot issue from Willie and WD. Who is he looking out for, I guess it isn't the citzens of Escambia County. Sell it all real fast then the county would have to purchase any land back that they could use for Infrastructure. Does this sound like a real good business plan, I think not. Let's built a new modern civic center on it and turn the old center into the new sports complex. Everyone wins on this one. Since the county owns it, no middle man to pay.
