Major Upcoming Expenditures
- Fence Replacement - We have applied to the City of Pensacola for a grant in the amount of $10,000.00 for public right-of-way improvements. To receive final approval January 20, 2005.
- Sprinkler System repairs
- Landscaping Repairs - to follow completion of fence, expected to be done in stages.
- Airport Construction - Construction is six months behind schedule for completion of east/west runway. North/south runway will begin in approximately 8 to 12 months.
- Spanish Trail Extension - News has been circulating that the City wanted to sell portions of the property along the Spanish Trail extension for the purpose of building new homes (more specifically, the land along Baldwin Avenue, parallel to Inverness Drive). A HUGE thanks to Dave Hemphill, who took the time to research the issue and, thankfully, brought it to a quick halt. Apparently the
land is considered "public use"; and thus unavailable to sell.
Challenges
