26th Coffee With a Commissioner This Week!

Our informal coffee with the commissioner events (like this one, above, from 2018)  are a great way to interact with Escambia County staff and leadership to address lingering neighborhood issues and hear about county happenings and current events.  We hold these monthly and all are welcome to attend!

On Wednesday we will be hosting our 26th coffee with a commissioner event for District 1.

All are welcome and encouraged to attend.

We will be meeting at the Denny's Restaurant at 4625 Mobile Highway from 6:30-7:30 AM.

These meetings are a great opportunity for citizens to come and meet me and staff in a very comfortable, non-intimidating setting.  Come on out, and let me hear from you about how the county can serve you better and what we can do to help you with your particular neighborhood issues.

We have been able to address a lot of minor issues on the spot or very quickly after these coffee meetings--maybe we can help you with your lingering issues?

Here is the format:  I give a quick update on county-wide issues of significance--and then we go around the room and I take questions from each attendee at the coffee and we discuss the issues as a group with staff members participating.  Then, if time permits, we go around the room again.

For those who cannot attend in person--we will be live-streaming this event on my Commissioner's Facebook page.  (We have listened to those who watch the videos online and who have complained about the sound quality--we will be addressing that issue starting this week!  We will have GREAT sound quality now with some enhancements/equipment we have acquired)

Everyone who wants to speak will be heard.

--Road swap-Beulah Road for Perdido Key Drive
