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 …

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

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 …
