Around Town • INFRASTRUCTURE • PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION • AIRPORT • PORT The local quality of life, paired with improved transportation and the business opportunities that are available, will set the stage in the next few years for a major economic boom in Bay County. tInfrastructure he renovation of Front Beach Road over the next few years will give Panama City Beach a more metropolitan feel. Walking and biking areas will be created to enhance mobility and pedestrian safety, and new streetscaping and tropical landscaping will reflect the area’s organic coastal forms. Beach access and related parking will be improved, and aesthetic elements such as benches and streetlights will be added to enhance the overall urban form of the community. The St. Joe Company has applied for annexation into the City for the Breakfast Point development, coming online during the next 10-15 years, which will showcase shops, restaurants, homes and apartments. The City has begun an 18-month project to build a new Dan Russell City Pier, and when Bay County rebuilds the M. B. Miller Pier Panama City Beach will be the only city on the Gulf with twin piers. Public Transportation In 2001 the Front Beach Road Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) was created to improve public transportation. A plan was put in place to bring a new transportation system to Front Beach Road with dedicated tram lanes and a Multimodal Center for parking, also serving as the “Gateway to Panama City Beach.” This system will interface with other transportation modes such as the Bay Town Trolley (www.baytown trolley.org). From 6:00 am until 8:00 pm, Monday through Friday, the Baytown Trolley provides a fun, efficient, cost-effective way to travel. For routes and information call (850) 769-0557. Workforce/commuter transportation is served by Ride On at (850) 769-4854. Coordinated Para-transit is served by Bay Area Transportation at (850) 785-0808. New International Airport The FAA delivered its final Record of Decision on September 15, 2006, approving recommendation to move the current Panama City-Bay County International Airport to a 4,000-acre site at West Bay. Estimated construction time for the new airport is 30 months. This project is of major interest across the nation and around the world. It will be the first airport built in the United States in almost 20 years. Homeland Security will be testing new security measures here, and tech companies from around the world are seeing this as somewhat of a test lab for new technology. The longer runway will open PCB to Latin American markets for cargo operations and attract other businesses and industry to the area. Port Authority The Panama City Port Authority’s five-year Master Plan, developed in early 2008, includes three goals by 2013: Bulkhead refurbishment, expansion of cargo and container capacity, and further development of the Intermodal Distribution Center. The Port’s general and bulk cargo totaled 1.3 million tons in 2007. TOP: A rendering of Front Beach Road in Panama City Beach.
