There are more and more federal dollars becoming available for all types of transportation projects with the new administration. Considering this would also have an economic development angle, I wouldn't be surprised at all if you start seeing some transportation money for rail, transit, etc. heading this way as the airport gets further along.

Finally, some welcome good news for our area!

The cruise ship rumor has been circulating for years. The great thing is the PPC doesn't have a height limitation like some other ports. The only issue is depth and width. The other issue is cruise ship facilities. The Port has quite limited space currently. If you've ever toured it it's not exactly a place I would want to don my tropical shirt and black socked sandaled feet. However, I can see check in at the new airport followed by a quick tour bus trip to board a cruise ship. Many have called the new airport a Mickey Mouse operation, I wonder how right they'll turn out to be?

Port Panama City wants a conceptual design for waterfront office buildings to lure national and international corporations to Panama City. An architect revealed a preliminary design for a commercial complex on port property Thursday.

“It’s exciting really, and it’s not uncommon for ports to be diversifying in this way,” Executive Director Wayne Stubbs said.


The concept shows two, four-story buildings each with 12,000 square feet per floor and two parking lots for 360 cars. The concept includes a central plaza, area for a restaurant, boardwalk, fountain, plaza and a marina.


“We’re talking first-class office space,” said Mark Hawley, from The Associates Architects, who presented the concept to the Port Authority.
