c) Non-Residential:

Planning Board-Regular · 2026-06-02 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed mix of land uses for an area beyond one-quarter mile of arterial roadways or transit corridors in Escambia County. The plan anticipates non-residential development, including retail services making up 30% to 50% of the area, office space from 25% to 50%, and light industrial uses from 5% to 10%. This proposal is currently under review by the Planning Board. If approved, this project could lead to site clearing and grading, followed by the construction of new commercial buildings. Subsequent phases would likely involve underground utility work, paving, and interior build-outs for retail, office, and light industrial spaces. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in construction, trades, and material supply could find opportunities. Engaging early, before final site plans and permits are issued, offers the best chance to compete for this future work.
