First post from a regular lurker.
Been looking at this stuff for a while.
All th rumors I have heard from credible sources are verified in the PDF flie at the above link.
The Airport DSAP clears the way for massive and rapid development in the area. Like it or not folks, progress is here. JOE has a plan. They had a plan when they sold the paper mill in Pt. St. Joe and it still took 2 years to close one day, with no notice to employees. The employees were seriously displaced but there were retraining opportunities for former JOE millworkers (the money was there from an anonomous donor for work comp extention, just like the $$ for a new bridge in PC). Look at the Piggly Wiggly in PSJ. Right after the mill closed they up and built a new store. And the more amazing fact is that the day it opened it was to small.
Enough for background. The DSAP. It has all its environmental permits out of the way. The whole Dang thing. Any company that wants proximity to the airport inside the DSAP is 2 years at least ahead on opening up a new facility, whether it is big or small. A big company like FEDEX can be open for business the day the Airport terminal opens. They have lots of room to build the campus they want, where they want. No expressways, or homes or nothing to worry about or spend $$ on lawyers on. They can even start operations before, because they only need the runway to work. Same applies to UPS or the other satillite warehouses like Amazon or Ebay or a huge fulfillment center to suport the distribution potential.
JOE did not go to all the trouble of the DSAP innovation to be nice. THEY HAVE A PLAN. EVERY SQ FT of the DSAP. RIGHT NOW. It is in the bag. The day they do the ground breaking they could spend the balance of the day announcing the committed additional businesses coming to the area.
The Disney thing is relatively easy to figure out. They are a part of the DSAP and possibly in the Ebro area too. I do not think the Ebro site is Disney. Maybe some other tourist operation, but not Disney. A large 2000 acre "resort" type of operation. It will not compete with Disney World. It wil be for a different type of tourist. Probably in conjuction with the new PORT DISNEY that will be where the present PC PORT is now. The PC paper mill closes(read the first paragraph). The port operation moves to the mill site because it has so much toxic goo in the ground that you could not put a bed in that area. DISNEY takes over the PC PORT to become its major hub for cruises. A brand spankin' new airport to fly cruisers in from all over the world. A resort to bed em down & entertain 'em too. Sounds like a sweet deal to me.
Unlike Orlando when Disney came to town there are develomental regulations to follow. I do not see a huge megaopolis. There will be trees and infrastructure to some degree. i.e. Freeport is shut down from further development til they get their infrastructure right.
Now a jump into the X-files
There is alreay a tunnel built on the airport site that will allow two semis to pass.
Disney will build a monorail from the new disney port to the airport to their resort to god know where else.
One is a good source rumor the other is an over active imagination.
