Panama City International Airport on the move!

Another great day and big win for the Panama City area !

On Thursday, February 14th 2008 a U.S. District Court judge again denied the airport opponents’ attempts to halt construction at the new Panama City – Bay County International Airport!

Airport Authority Chairman Joe Tannehill said construction was proceeding unrestricted, in accordance with our permits, and on schedule. Read more here.

The new Panama City International airport is being built on a 4,000-acre site in northwestern Bay County on land that was donated by The St. Joe Company.

With construction again underway, the expected opening of the new airport in 2010 is back on schedule and the future is once again bright for our communities economy and prosperity!

Panama City International Airport authorities fight back!

More news on the Panama City International Airport...

Authorities challenge the recent contruction halt granted by a federal court in New York city to a group of local general aviation pilots calling themselves the "Friends of PFN".

Authorities have filed a motion to lift an emergency stay granted to a group of local pilots who oppose the project. Read the full story.

These continuing lawsuits filed by this group will only add to the develoment costs of the new Panama City International Airport. Their continuing efforts to stop the progress of Panama City is not in the best interest of businesses and residents.

It's time they faced reality and stopped wasting tax payer dollars!

I fully support this move by the airport authorities and am very pleased to see their efforts increased in moving this project forward!

Panama City Airport - HALTED!!!

It's a sad day in Bay County...

A federal judge in New York issued an order Thursday afternoon temporarily blocking construction of the new Panama City-Bay County International Airport, said an attorney representing a local pilot’s organization opposed to the project.

Read the whole story.

In my opinion, it's a shame that the selfish agendas of so few are able to stand in the way of progress for businesses and residents of an area that deserve economic growth and prosperity.

Panama City Florida, long known as a popular tourist destination, has been awaiting this airport for many years. This move by a federal court judge has the potential to eliminate the expected growth and economic opportunities the new International Airport promised for Bay County Florida.

If the organization known as Friends of PFN (the airports 3 letter FAA designation) a local pilot’s organization, are successful in blocking the construction of the new International Airport, Bay County and the surrounding area may very well see property values plummit, businesses deteriorate, tourism fall to nothing and the area fall into decay and disarray and has the potential to be devastating to the local economy!

It is my opinion, that the Friends of PFN are not friends of Bay County. By attempting to bring an end to the construction of the International Airport for their own self indulgent agendas for the area they have continuously demonstrated their lack of interest in the areas economic well being and future growth.

Claiming that expansion of the existing airport is a more lucrative project, the "Friends of PFN" have been against the movement of the new airport from the beginning.

I find it interesting that these so called "Friends of PFN" and their lawyers appealed to a federal judge in New York City, to further their attempts at stopping the areas ecomonic growth. How is it possible that a judge in New York who knows nothing about the economy, business interests or environmental impacts of the State of Florida can interject a decision at this late stage! Perhaps it is because every lawsuit and attempt by the so called Friends of PFN to stop the airport in Florida was unsuccessful!

The airport was due to begin construction TODAY!

The federal, state and local goverments having all researched the ecological and economical impact the new airport would have on the Bay County and surrounding area have previously given the approval and additional financial backing to move the project forward. But these so called "Friends of PFN" have continued attempts to block the airport at every milestone.


Enough is enough!

"Friends of PFN", you're no friend of mine or Bay County! Take your private planes and go elsewhere!

The people of Bay County deserve an opportunity for economical and ecological growth, they deserve the opportunity to join the other prosperous tourist destinations and we the residents and business owners welcome the opportunities!

Look out world here comes, Panama City and Bay County Florida

And we're open for business...

There will no doubt be many many articles in the media over the next several days,
so I'll omit some of the political references and move right to the event.

The "Groundbreaking" ceremony of the New Panama City Florida International Airport
held today was very possibly the most momentous day in the history of Panama City, Florida, depending of course on your personal view of the airport.

Although Florida Governor, Charlie Crist was unable to attend the "Groundbreaking"
ceremony due to pressing issues in Washington, his recorded message : "Bay County is Open for Business" was heard loud and clear!

For me, it was an opportunity to be associated with a new begining.

The event saw attendees from all over Bay county. From Attorneys' and politicians to Business leaders and Pilots and of course myself and other local real estate agents.


It was promising to see the turn out so many worked so hard to fulfill.

I've included a few pictures of the event and have items of note:

Eric Draper - of The Audubon Society re-inforced the dedication to the preservation of wildlife and the environment. Mr. Draper brought additional celebrity with him -
Paige, a female bald eagle from the Florida Audubon Society’s Center for Birds of Prey. She was absolutely magnificent to behold!

The Panama City Florida International Airport will be the first airport constructed since 9/11.

The Panama City Florida International Airport will be the first 'green' airport of it's kind.

The Lack of protestors (I only saw 1 sole protestor) was very interesting as the nay sayers didn't seem to find the groundbreaking important enough to attend.

People, I can't say this any clearer than, it's time to buy, NOW.
