8. Recommendation Concerning the Limited Waiver of the Escambia County Noise

Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-05-21 · agenda_item

This item concerns a recommendation for a limited waiver of the Escambia County Noise Abatement Ordinance. The waiver would allow for a fireworks display on July 4, 2026, near the Portofino Resort on Pensacola Beach. The event is planned to take place from 9:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and would permit sound levels to exceed 70 decibels. This is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. The scope of work involves event planning and execution for a fireworks display, including obtaining necessary permits and managing sound levels. Businesses that provide event services, fireworks, and related logistical support could find opportunities. Early engagement is advised as this is an early stage in the public process.
