Northwest District 1 Advisory Committee

I have added the formation of a 9-member Northwest District 1 advisory committee to the agenda for this Thursday.

See the agenda item linked here, read about the rationale for the need for this committee here.

I'm hoping to receive many applicants for this very important committee; there are lots of issues that deserve to have a committee look into and provide recommendations for. 

There are lots of issues of growth in this portion of  District 1 that must be looked at and for which I value the input and research and deliberation of a committee of concerned folks. 

What I am not looking for:

--Single-issue citizens that are focused on only one issue or one area
--Overly-opinionated citizens that are not willing to be open-minded to multiple ideas or concepts
--Citizens that are rigid and unwilling to compromise

Initial areas of research and input to be sought from this committee:

--Development of a Master Plan for this area (precincts 43,5, and 68) that aligns with and complements the Master Plan for the OLF 8 site development
--Working to bring a library to the area
--Where to put the next park/community center
--Identification of the most pressing infrastructure issues (sidewalks, roads, stormwater drainage areas)
--Addition of mass-transit options to the area
--What does it take to bring a post office to the area?
--other issues of significance that arise going forward
--Fire Service in Beulah

For those willing to serve, I anticipate meetings once monthly or once every two months, in the evenings.  If you are interested, please fill out the application.

I will go through each application personally, and I will reach out to those that have expressed interest and those whom I believe will be a good fit for this committee.

This committee will be open to citizens residing in Escambia County.   To apply to serve, please forward this application and a copy of your resume to
