This is exactly why places like Bristol Park flood. Wawa on 9 mile is built on wetlands. The County seems to forget about watersheds, streams and wetlands. If this County keeps building and building and building our “Country Town” will be gone. If your new house has three feet of water in it one day, after you report it to the Insurance Co, will you sue the County too? It most definitely is greed…followed by pure stupidity.

One cannot stop progress. More affordable housing and hopefully shopping will help the area tremendously.

Well, they certainly won’t take the 42.5, that would make sense!

I am new here and I support leaving it alone. Pensacola and immediate area is full of really old building that would benefit from demolition, mid-range buildings and homes that some as well would benefit from life termination and then what appears to be thousands of apartment buildings stacked up like cordwood to a level that another really strong hurricane could topple them.
This property on Nine Mile is a brief look at the past. Pleasant to see uninterrupted. Would make a fantastic park. Drop in a few trees, walking paths, which by the way would be of significant benefit to the thousands of individuals living along this area in the stacked to the heavens compact apartment units. I agree with others leave. Enough of this packed in living is enough. If the County cannot control the aspects as mentioned than a building permit should not be issued until the design drawings reflect the concerns of the people and all infrastructure is in place before the first shovel of dirt for construction of any facilities is taken. Been in construction quality and a prior building inspector during my 60 years of working. Know exactly what is required in advance and have seen several thousand locations where this was accomplished prior to any permanent structure being started. Still, best left alone.

Just sell it already and get it over with.
Does the county need the money. No.
Does it need another 2000 houses plus apartments. No.
Does it need more manufacturing area. No.
But its going to be sold and developed because what the county wants is more revenue to waste. So just sell it already and get it over with.

If Hemmer gets it there certainly won’t be anything but more residential units!! It’s a Hemmer thing it’s what he does and has been allowed to do for years. No builder responsibility for traffic issues, piss poor roads and what not but they don’t care…its not them that have to fight the traffic in an already overcrowded area
