Pensacola, Fla., is seeking $53M from Triumph Gulf Coast (TGC) to make the Port of Pensacola's original 2019 Vision Plan a reality. Port Director Clark Merritt told the City Council on Sept. 12 that the city had submitted a pre-application to TGC, the organization set up by Florida to award BP oil spill settlement funds to projects in the eight counties impacted by the spill. The application calls for upgrading and improving the port's infrastructure - ship berths, roads and cargo facilities, as well as moving port's security to allow for the redevelopment of the northern section. None of this is etched in stone, according to Merritt but showed a potential layout of how the port may look under the proposal. The proposal follows the 2019 Vision Plan. Merritt called the proposal an update, dubbing it "2022 Vision. (Source: Pensacola News Journal 09/13/22) Pensacola seeking $53 million to upgrade and redevelop port (pnj.com)
