5G demo
Verizon has promised to partner with us and bring 5G to Panama City. We are the ONLY city in the south to be in tat position. Ask/support/pay for Verizon to set up a demonstration of the capability on the PC marina. Once the Navy/USAF/ scientists/student/universities can SEE what 5G offers, the opportunities will appear. Only
Deerpoint Lake Cleanup
Deerpoint Lake should be made where it could be “drawn down” so as to kill/destroy the noxious/invasive plant life that now exist. A “drawn down” of at least 4 feet would benefit the entire area. The existing noxious plants (e.g., Lilly pads, lemon bacopa, hydrilla, milfoil, and others) are harmful to the lake and diminish

Event Field in Downtown Area
I propose there be an event field with a nice stage for people who would like to have an event Downtown. We need it to be easier to bring events downtown, that are not related to Bay Arts, DIB, or Destination Panama City. I believe that Panama City, particularly the downtown area needs this sort

Employers across all industries are experiencing difficulty in staffing operations in the aftermath of Hurricane Michael. Childcare and after school care facilities are in short supply as many have closed or scaled back operations as an outcome of Hurricane

Downtown Science & Technology Center
Creation of a WORLD-CLASS science center focused on interactive, STEM-based, locally-oriented and educational exhibits. Creation of a truly world-class facility would have far-reaching impacts in our community through job development, significant tourism East of the Hathaway bridge, educational opportunities for local students, and a place for community events. The project would be a catalyst for other

Port of Panama City – West Terminal – Bulk Terminal Expansion
The port suffered storm damage on the existing bulk storage warehouse and will be operated at reduced capacity for five months. This causes extraordinary vessel demerge and handling cost related to reduced storage space at the port. To mitigate storm impacts in the future and to support growth of biomass exports, the Port would like

Port of Panama City – Container Terminal Expansion
Additional break bulk cargo capacity at the East Terminal provides the Port with the opportunity to expand its container terminal capacity at the West Terminal. The proposed improvements will nearly triple the Port’s container handling and storage capacity adding 903 FEUs of storage including additional support plugs for refrigerated containers. This provides needed capacity to

Port of Panama City – Reinforced Deeper Bulkheads
The Port of Panama City’s cargo operations and industrial tenants rely heavily on 2,700 linear feet of bulkheads that are vulnerable to failure from hurricane surge and rapid tidal drawdown. The deepening of the Port in 2003 exposed the existing bulkheads to the danger of failure from hurricane related surge and drawdown. As the bulkheads

Satellite Campus for College(s) Downtown
Incorporation of a college campus and potentially dorms in the downtown Panama City area. Both of the local college campuses are limited in space and expanding to a satellite campus would allow for additional growth while infusing student life downtown, creating an economic impact in the community instead of an isolated campus. Savannah accomplishes this with
