Whenever progress has begun to rise up in a community, there have always been "naysayers." You know who they are, they're the people who say,"It'll never happen, not here." The funny thing about naysayers is that they are usually wrong. Life goes on, progress never stops really, and people with vision always rise up and make better things happen.
And so, it has happened in Northwest Florida on the Gulf Coast in the beautiful community known as Bay County, Florida. Out on the West End of Panama City Beach, which used to be a heavily wooded area known only to hunters and local fishermen, progress has begun. The first International Airport to be built in the US in a couple of decades will constructed in the West Bay area of Panama City Beach. At least, that's what we believe will happen. A lot of money has already been spent, countless hours of meetings and planning have taken place, and naturalists have been trying to delay the new airport. The environmental groups have brought lawsuits and petitions to stop the development of this area because it has only been home to nature until now.
If the airport authority prevails it will be home to a lot of new jobs, new airline access, and the basis for unprecedented growth and development in this area.
If you've been one of those who heard the naysayers cry, "It's not gonna happen," then you should watch this video that was published yesterday on PanamaCity.com, the online news blog published by the local News Herald in Panama City.
On Thursday, February 14, the News Herald published this statement in an article by S. Brady Calhoun, news reporter from Jacksonville:
"District Judge Timothy Corrigan declined to issue a preliminary injunction against the new airport in West Bay. Several environmental groups requested the injunction as part of a lawsuit against the Army Corps of Engineers. The groups want to reverse a permit issued by the corps that allows the Airport Authority to build a new airport in West Bay."
Local authorities call this decision a great victory for the future airport and it has allowed progress to continue.
I've been saying this for a while, "This area is about to experience unprecedented growth and development." Come be a part of a truly ground-floor opportunity for investors. Welcome to the "World's Most Beautiful Beaches."

Jan, Airport relocation is always a hotly contested issue. But ultimately it is about jobs and money. Good luck.
