Miller McCune huge article on Joe, airport, Panhandle history...

For some reason, my thanks button isn't there. Thanks for posting this Susan.

Susan,

A real dichotomy isnt it? Thanks for the very informative post.

I love South Walton.

I'm a little curious as to the author's motives. Some of his numbers seem to be completely pulled from thin air.

The author states Tallahassee has a population of 1.5 million.
Tallahassee, Florida - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's not even close. Even if you counted all of the counties surrounding Leon County and the surge when school is in full session and the legislature is in full swing you still wouldn't come close.

The motive of the article, as the author repeats several times, is to attempt to point out the irony in the actions of a "green" corporation. As if they should have some motive other than making money through development, while wielding political influence which comes from owning a lot of land.

Development comes to all places which are privately owned. I think we are fortunate to live in a time when the public cares how it's done, and is attentive. In the case of Northwest Florida, the land is the product and must not be ruined, and the public is the consumer and must be served.
