The Navarre Beach Leaseholders Association (NBLRA) is planning to enhance the remaining undeveloped area west of the Navarre Beach Causeway.

The NBLRA has already funded a portion of this beautification in 2025 and is now seeking $33,799 from the Tourist Development Council (TDC) to complete the work. This item has been approved by the TDC. The project will involve site clearing and grading, followed by planting and landscaping. Contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, and landscaping services, as well as suppliers of plants and landscaping materials, may find opportunities. Engaging with the NBLRA and the TDC early in this process, before final plans and permits are set, could provide a competitive advantage.
