Interlocal Agreement between County and City Approved and Signed by BCC on 11/1/2018

Look below to see the Interlocal agreement between the County and the City regarding ST Engineering Aerospace's forthcoming expansion at Pensacola's Airport.  It is anticipated that Pensacola Mayor Ashton Hayward will sign this document at an upcoming meeting of the Pensacola City Council  at which point this document will be fully executed.

The county voted 4-1 to approve this document last night, a document which now bears my signature as chairman of the board. 

Doug Underhill was the lone voice of dissent on this item.  He voted "No."

Massive, Positive Local and International Media Response to ST Engineering Aerospace Deal

Huge Economic Development Deal for Escambia County and Pensacola goes viral worldwide in the press.  Historic!

The Escambia Board of County Commissioners joined the city of Pensacola and Florida West in attracting the World's #1 leader in Air Frame Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) services to come to Pensacola.

The County has now committed a total of $18 Million to this effort.

This week we signed an Historic Agreement in Singapore to massively expand this operation and bring thousands of GOOD jobs to our region!

The press coverage of this historic event has been huge...and it has been international.

Check out the coverage locally--- and overseas--of this monumental announcement and agreement!

While some still believe economic development is "not appropriate" for local governments to pursue--I could not disagree more.  Actually---I believe what we are doing to grow jobs and diversify our tax base locally is an ESSENTIAL GOVERNMENT FUNCTION!  I'm extremely proud of this agreement, this deal, and bringing these jobs home to Escambia County!

Project Titan: Moving Forward to the Signing of a Memorandum of Understanding

I was honored to speak at the ST Engineering Aerospace MRO facility grand opening in June.  We will soon be building three additional hangars at the airport and adding another 1,325 good paying jobs for Escambia County!

Project Titan, the effort to massively expand the ST Engineering Aerospace Maintenance, Renovation, and Overhaul (MRO) facility in Pensacola, is moving forward.

A ceremonial signing event will occur on Saturday, October 27th, in Singapore, memorializing this transformational project.

Escambia County has committed $10 Million to this effort ($18 Million total if the county's previous investment in ST Engineering's first facility is added).  Once completed, this project will massively, positively impact our county in many ways.  This power point document gives a great breakdown of the project and the benefits it will bring to our community.

I have been asked to provide a comment on this project, on the occasion of the signing of this historic agreement.  My statement is below:
