23. Recommendation Concerning the New Fire Services Training Facility on Pearl

Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-05-07 · agenda_item

Escambia County is planning a new Fire Services Training Facility on Pearl Avenue, at the southern end of the Midtown Commerce Park. The Board of County Commissioners is being asked to authorize staff to begin the initial process for this project. This early stage involves site preparation, including clearing and grubbing, and other tasks to get the site ready for future construction. This project is currently in the planning and review phase, meaning opportunities for contractors, suppliers, and service providers may arise as the project moves forward. Work could include site clearing and grading, followed by potential future phases for underground utilities, paving, building construction, and landscaping. Local businesses in construction, site preparation, and related supply industries are encouraged to monitor this project's progress as plans develop, as early engagement can be advantageous before bids and permits are finalized.
