Creek Waste Project Planned For Highway 29, Ten Mile Road

June 9, 2025

Developers have proposed the Creek Waste Project for the northwest corner of Highway 29 and 10 Mile Road.

The project would include maintenance/office building, storage buildings, a storage lot for the sale and repair of utility trailers, and a pole barn. Specifically, the project would include the construction of a new 560-square foot parts building, 3,500-square foot maintenance/office building, and a 1,600-square foot pole barn that are all being proposed on a laydown/storage lot consisting of an asphalt millings surface. These are being proposed for the use of utility trailers sales and maintenance, according to information filed with the Escambia County Development Review Committee (DRC).

The site at 3397 South Highway 29 is currently partially developed with dirt drives and fencing from the previous storage of Creek Waste containers that will be removed from the 1.55-acre parcel. An existing billboard will remain.

Access will be from a new concrete driveway to West Ten Mile Road.

The property is currently zoned for heavy commercial and light industrial.

The project is set for a pre-application meeting with DRC on Wednesday, June 11. A final public hearing has not yet been set.

    Will there be a retention pond? Where’s the water going to go these buildings are on? There’s already enough flooding over here. I also agree with Mr. Wender, it’s already hard enough getting out on ten mile. Plus the train track right there.
    Better than waste containers by far but…… I would like to see the flood plan for anything that occupys the property. Is there one on file somewhere?

    This isn’t something I want to see at the entrance to my neighborhood. How about something that doesn’t distract to our neighborhoods and a longer light to get into and out of our neighborhoods. It is already hard to get into and out of Ten Mile Road. Waste type projects should be somewhere other than highly populated living spaces and definitely not along highly populated highways.

    You can bet it will be approved! Everything is approved in Escambia County, unlike Pace, etc. , except Costco, which is still I lingering.

    If this is approved will they later try to put the “vegetative debris incinerator” that they tried to get approved at the end of last year?

    They’ve had containers stored there for months, and the in and out traffic makes a muddy mess of that side of 10 Mile.

    Where is the contaminated waste run off and where does it go? Does DEP know about this? It’s garbage and construction demolition debris RIGHT ON HWY 29!!! Grant that they’ve been in that location for some time now. These containers are dropped at other sites and picked up UNKNOWING what’s in them. People have no idea.
