D1 and the West Side of Pensacola about to Get an Amazing Amenity!




John Singley from Studio 850 shot the above video of the soon to be opened Escambia County Boat Launch on Perdido Bay in District 1.  It will be an AMAZING amenity for the West Side!

39 Acres
60 large trailer parking spots
Picnic Areas
Camping Areas
Kayak Launches
walking trails

This thing has been in the works for eight years and will be opening next month.  Stay Tuned!

Camping areas? Overnight?

Calling Andrew Blewer...calling Andrew Blewer...Andrew Blewer, your boat dock is waiting for you at check out...

(For the love of God, somebody please let that man know.)

In all seriousness, it was such an honor to be involved with the final push on getting this never ending project across the finish line at the MAC, Commissioner Bergosh. It was definitely an opportunity to lift the trophy on a project years and years in the making and not moving. Just had to ask the right questions about why it wasn't. :)

One more fantastic public access shoreline amenity under your leadership. It's not an exaggeration to say that your commissionership has been absolutely transformative for the public access that has been ridiculously thwarted for a water-loving community on a peninsula. Thank you for continuing to rack up the wins!! Really nice spot from Studio 850, who has been doing some solid heavy lifting recently on things the PNJ and WEAR aren't covering.
