Pensacola Beach is
still recovering
from two
significant events that happened in 2004. Leaseholders received
notice from the Property Appraiser that they would be taxed on their
leased improvements and Hurricane Ivan hit. Whether it’s the act of
a politician or an act of nature, there are times when people with
common interests need an organization to represent them.
The purpose
of Pensacola Beach Advocates, Inc.
(PBA) is to educate and inform leaseholders, public officials and
other interested parties about matters affecting the controlled
development of our community and to protect the public lands of
Pensacola Beach for the benefit of its leaseholders and for all the
citizens of Escambia County and beyond.
PBA will act
as a voice of the stakeholders
on the Island. Members will be kept apprised of current issues
facing the Beach through the PBA web site, viewpoints presented in
the local media, occasional meetings and an e-mail network. While
representing the majority view of its members (as determined by
periodic polls and meetings), the PBA recognizes that some issues
are complex and there are many valid points of view that need to be
respected.

UPDATE
The PBA Board met on May 1st
prior to the Spring Fling at Morgan Park. It was agreed the PBA
should act as a conduit to be sure that PBA members have the
opportunity to give input in the upcoming planning process for the
Beach. The SRIA has set a May 27th deadline for receipt of Request
for Qualifications. This is part of the process used to select a
master planner to develop a long range plan for development of the
Core Area. Additional information will be provided as it becomes
available.
