A proposed new District is under review by the City Commission Meetings of the City of Panama City. The Petitioner expects this District to finance services and improvements through the issuance of tax-exempt bonds. These bonds will be paid back using special assessments on landowners within the District. Ongoing maintenance will also be funded by special assessments. The District may issue both long- and short-term bonds to pay for facilities. Any facilities not financed by bonds will be funded by the developer using bank loans.

Work could eventually involve site preparation, utility installation, construction, and landscaping, offering opportunities for general contractors, trades, and material suppliers.
