What Does Escambia County, And District 1, Want to See on OLF-8?

62% of County Residents surveyed in today's poll want jobs developed on OLF-8, while only 18.5% want to see housing and retail developed on the site...

Today Rick Outzen, publisher of INWeekly and Rick's Blog,  posted the results from a survey he conducted county-wide regarding the development of Beulah's OLF-8.

His post goes through the numbers from each commissioner's district.

The results are not surprising to me--as they mirror the results from a similar poll conducted last October.

When we use a wide net and capture the thoughts of ALL voters on this topic----the overwhelming majority of citizens agree with me in that we need 1.) NO residential on the field and 2.) Good, High Tech High-Paying Jobs.

I say it's not surprising--I'm sure there are a couple of subdivisions and about 2-dozen folks who may be surprised, and unhappy, about what this polling says people want.....

Personally, I don't care what the rest of the county thinks. Why don't we conduct a poll and ask the rest of the county if they want a commerce park in the middle of their community. You would probably get a similar vote as the "2 subdivisions and couple of dozen folks" which actually live in Beulah.
