Where’s the school that was planned? With all the houses being built, Kingsfield Elementary will be over capacity soon. There use to be a school planned for OLF-8. There’s also been talk of a new high school there, too. Tate is already over capacity. With 2 middle schools in the immediate area, we’re good there.

From the beginning of many negotiations with Navy, the purchasing of a new landing field and preping it for Navy demands and up to this date, I would like to have someone to tell us how much has been spent on this project. How many tax dollars
for us to be in a situation where the buyer wants to renegotiate and how much longer is OLF8 going to be a sore thumb;

A deal is a deal. They agreed to buy all of the property.
NO there is not a negotiation after the final agreement.

They knew they would pull this from the get go. They want the best parts and leave the wetlands and all the infrastructure expense to the county@@ Anyone who votes for this new deal is in on it.

This county is a joke now…. Sketchy deals, under the table transactions. The County has gotten so corrupt, they think they’re a big city. Only reason most of them get into local government is to see how much shady money they can make

Buyer’s remorse? More likely they’re wanting the prime property and dumping the poor developmental potential property back to the county at a premium price.

Take the Escrow and start over if they don’t want to purchase it all.
