I'm passing this along, from Kriss, FYI:
Hello Everyone
As you know the new airport in Bay County will begin construction in early June, it is expected to open late 2009 early 2010. As you can imagine there is a tremendous amount of planning to be done. On Wednesday, April 4th from 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. at Edgewater Beach Resort in Panama City Beach there will be the first regional workshop to examine how we can best take advantage of this opportunity to build a future for the Emerald Coast. I would like to encourage all of you to consider attending this very important milestone workshop regarding the future development of our airport. The afternoon sessions will cover four facilitated work sessions; Marketing/Branding, Economic Development, Destination Draw, and Regional Airport Commerce Council Organization and Task Force Development. Please join with me and help bring Walton County's interests to the discussion table. For more information call our office 267-1216. Space is limited.
Thank you,
Kriss Titus

Shelly...i've got a $5 dollar bill with your name on it if you'll got to the site and do it today....

Reminds me of an old joke whose punchline goes something like this:
"I've already established what you are, now I'm just haggling over the price."
With talk of "milestone workshops, facilitated work sessions, committees, and Task Force Development," ....I see this project being pushed back even further than before.
I bet they'll gather their little cabal of cronies in the swamp in June, dressed in "Builder Bob outfits" to stick a shovel in the ground, but to land aircraft in 2009?.......:funn:....not a Seattle slug's chance in the Florida sunshine.
To build an airport is not that intensive. There is a terminal and parking lot and runway. A multi story office complex is requires more time to build than paving a runway.
This is a "major international airport" afterall <if one is to believe the rhetoric in glossy brochures and RE websites trying to hawk land>.I imagine they'll use the local Texaco station to fill up gas cans to fuel the jets; hire a bunch of illegals to do a hand-over-hand chain to unload the baggage; swipe a SoWal lifeguard chair to use as a control tower; and clear a double-lane dirt roadway through the swamp to provide access to transport construction vehicles during building and ferry tens-of-thousands...nay....millions of domestic and international visitors to and fro.
That said, I don't see how a few extra-large Sears garden sheds and a couple of truckloads of asphalt will result in an attractive and functional international airport.
The clock is running for a 2009 grand opening...nice to know that they'll go from a shovel in the swamp in June 2007 to a Boeing Dreamliner touchdown faster than it takes a contractor to finish a 2500sf beachhouse. (This must have something to do with the Disney-thing....that's your cue 00seer00 ;-) )

Now you know they will not being using that kinda stuff to build. And yes the slack builders that take a year to build a 2500 sq ft house will be surprised to see a 12000 foot runway completed faster than granite tops. Trust me on this one. I know unless you have built an airport also.
