OLF X Construction is Moving Forward

Construction of OLF X in Santa Rosa County Florida, May 2018


Construction of OLF X in Santa Rosa County Florida, May 2018
As was announced at our last Committee of the Whole meeting several weeks back, the project to swap property in Santa Rosa County (OLF X) with property in Escambia County (OLF 8) with the U.S. Navy is rapidly moving forward.  It has been a long time coming....

I'm told the Navy is moving ahead with initial scheduling of the ceremonial hand off, scheduled to occur later this year.  The BCC anticipates a late December, early January timeframe for the BCC acquisition of OLF 8 in Beulah to be completed. 

We are getting to the finish line of the first part of this project.  Part II will be the development of the property in Beulah--more on that part later.

But before we get to do that, we have to finish the construction of the new OLF X in Santa Rosa County for the U.S. Navy.  And work toward that goal is continuing.

I have been forwarded these pictures, below, of the progress that is being made toward completion of OLF X.  Looks like things are going well as we bring that project "in for a landing." (pun not intended)
