A new community development district is being proposed for an area within the City of Panama City. This district aims to provide community development services and facilities without adding to the general city tax burden. Instead, funding will come from non-ad valorem assessments on properties within the district that benefit from the services. The establishment of this district is planned in conjunction with a comprehensively planned community, which is expected to lead to more efficient resource use and promote public well-being. The proposal is currently under review by the City Commission. This initiative would likely involve site preparation, infrastructure installation, and the construction of community facilities, potentially phased over time. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in construction, engineering, and related fields are encouraged to monitor this proposal's progress. Early engagement before final plans and permits are set could offer a competitive advantage.
