'Project Clerks' poised to bring 3.7 acres of retail, restaurants to Pea Ridge

"Project Clerks" is the pseudonym Santa Rosa County Economic Development Director Shannon Ogletree has given to a proposed development that promises to bring "multiple nationally known retailers and restaurants to the Highway 90 Corridor." A group based in Franklin, Tennessee, calling itself Highway 90 Development LLC is listed as the owner of the 22-acre parcel at the intersection of U.S. 90 and the Pea Ridge Connector Road across from West Florida Regional Medical Center in Pace. The group wants to add 160,000 square feet, or almost 3.7 acres, of retail, service and restaurant space. The specific businesses the group plans to recruit have not been publicly announced, but county officials have expressed enthusiasm for the project. "Residents won't have to drive over to Escambia County any more for shopping or to eat out," Ogletree said. The project was brought to the County Commission Nov. 10 at its Committee of the Whole meeting. Commissioners were being asked to approve an incentive arrangement of approximately $1.12 million and a tree mitigation plan to open the door to development of the presently vacant, commercially zoned property. Under the incentive agreement, the ad valorem taxes paid on the retail development property would be reduced

FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. — Eglin Federal Credit Union has donated $50,000 to two United Way organizations to help families and communities across Northwest Florida recover from Hurricane Isaias. The credit union announced donations of $25,000 each to United Way Emerald Coast and United Way of West Florida. United Way Emerald Coast will direct its funding toward recovery efforts in Okaloosa and Walton counties, while United Way of West Florida will use its donation specifically to assist residents of Santa Rosa County, which experienced some of the region’s most extensive storm damage. “We are so grateful that Eglin Federal Credit Union, a long-time partner of local United Ways, is providing this assistance during this difficult time for our community members,” said United Way Emerald Coast President and CEO Kelly Jasen. “Hardworking families can struggle to make ends meet even during the best of times, and this disaster has only increased the challenges many are facing.
