Santa Rosa County is seeking authorization to submit a grant application to the Department of Defense for a new Child Development Center at Naval Air Station Whiting Field. The proposed facility would be approximately 20,387 square feet and serve over 150 children. The county is also committed to providing a 30% local match for the project cost, with efforts underway to secure additional funding. This project is currently under review, with the grant application submission being the next step. If approved, the project would involve site preparation, construction of the new center, and related infrastructure. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage with the county and its partners as plans develop, potentially securing work before bids and permits are finalized.
