PCB not so stupid now...

Oh, by the way, at the next Board meeting for the NWFTCA, being held in SoWal at the Courthouse Annex Jan 17, at 10am, they will be discussing the Master Plan revisions for 2008.

The land for 331 was just recently required in SoWal, and parts of NoWal. I'm not certain when the NWFTCA was formed, but they include 331, 79 and 77 in their plans. You can view maps of the planned roads and the estimated costs and list of priorities at nwftca.com

The NWFTCA was created by the 2005 legislature. I think their first meeting was late 2005 or early 2006 by the time all the appointments were made.

Regardless, they have adopted the Hwy 331, 79, and 77 projects as their own. Part of their mission is creating evacuation routes. The Master Plan is still only a plan. They have also recently added alternative plans like 6-laning most of Hwy 98. Either way, one of the intentions of the plans is to create easy access to the new PCB Airport.

Also to create much easier access to the Pensacola Airport.

Yes, and also the Tallahassee Airport.

I recall hearing that they have also begun the moving of 30A in Gulf County.

I was under the impression that the Gulf County 30-A relo was a private job by St. Joe. Basically gets the riff-raff out of Windmark. It's ruined what used to be a beautiful, scenic drive.

one of the intentions of the plans is to create easy access to the new PCB Airport.

Also to create much easier access to the Pensacola Airport.

Yes, and also the Tallahassee Airport.

All good things, since we're losing VPS;-)

ChrisV, you may be right about 30A in Gulf County. I was thinking it was part of the NWFTCA, but it may not be.

 

[beachmouse]

The original NWFTCA master plan 'wish list' covers improvements to the entry of Okaloosa Regional Airport, and what sounds like a realignment for the terminus of SR 123 to the main entrance of the airport.

But if they did close VPS for some reason, we'd be flying out of Pensacola. It's closer than either the old or new PCB airport, and they'll give you free one quart bags for your TSA-enforced carry on needs.

So are Sowalgaboi and ChrisV, both people who received the email from the PCB Chamber of Commerce, Realtors? Or, are you suggesting that the PCB Chamber is a Realtor Organization?

Here's a Realtor that posted it on their blog. (Note the use of the Bay County Association of Realtors? logo.)

Note in the comments that they say they got the information "from the Attorneys handling the case...William Harrison from Harrison, Rivard & Bennett"

I see that it is posted on the Realtors' personal website, but it is coming from the Chamber of Commerce, according to the two people on SoWal.com/bb who reported receiving the email. Many Realtors post information from their local Chamber or County, on their website. So, I am not sure that I understand your post of pointing out that someone posted it on their website. I'm not sure which "case" the attorneys whom supposedly passed out the information, are handling. That is a vague response to the question in their comment.
