A proposal is under review to establish a community development district for an area within the City of Panama City. This district would be a long-term, stable entity responsible for the ownership and maintenance of roadways and stormwater management systems. The establishment of this district is intended to provide infrastructure efficiently and effectively, offering professional staff and secure funding through assessments collected on the tax roll. This process is currently under review by the City Commission. The project would involve planning and establishing the district's structure, which could lead to future needs for site preparation, grading, utility work, paving, and landscaping as development progresses. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the project's scope and potential needs before formal plans and bids are finalized.
