The Community Redevelopment Board of the City of Panama City is reviewing suggestions for projects in the Millville CRA district for Fiscal Year 2027. One suggestion proposes initial improvements for Redwood Cemetery, including better city lighting, especially near dusk, to address trespassing and littering. Another suggestion calls for improvements at The Baptist Center on Kraft Avenue, such as new fencing, upgraded laptops for tutoring and job assistance, and restoration of its clothing room. There is also a suggestion for small business funding, events, concerts, and landscape improvements on 5th Street. Additionally, a suggestion mentions completing Joe Moody Park and addressing the area as a food desert. Finally, a suggestion calls for a complete revamp of the roads due to their poor condition and the resulting flow of water into Watson Bayou. These items are currently under review, representing early opportunities for contractors, suppliers, and service providers. The proposed work could involve site clearing, grading, utility work, road paving, lighting installation, landscaping, and potentially building restoration or upgrades. Interested parties are encouraged to reach out early to understand the scope and potential phases of these projects before formal plans, bids, and permits are finalized.
