A conditional use request is under review to allow an educational institution, specifically a university, on approximately 58.1 acres located in the 6500 Block of Chumuckla Highway in Pace. The applicant, John Melvin Christian University, has proposed modifications that reduce the project's footprint to 21 acres to preserve farmland and minimize impact on neighbors. This request is currently under review by the Commission Committee Meeting, with a recommendation for approval from the Zoning Board. If approved, the project would involve site preparation and construction for a university campus, potentially including athletic facilities. Contractors specializing in site work, general construction, and various trades such as electrical, plumbing, and HVAC could find opportunities. Suppliers of building materials and equipment may also be needed. Engaging early in the process, before final site plans and permits are established, could provide businesses with a competitive advantage.
