The City of Panama City is developing a Land Disposition Policy for Affordable Housing. This policy will create a system for the city to provide city-owned land for the development and upkeep of affordable housing. The goal is to offer more safe and quality housing options for people with low to moderate incomes. This policy is currently a draft and is subject to Florida Housing approval. It is planned as a framework to guide how public land is used for housing. The policy will likely lead to future projects involving site preparation, construction, and related services for new affordable housing developments. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should monitor this policy's progress as it could present future opportunities for work in the affordable housing sector. Early engagement with city planning departments could provide insight into upcoming projects.
