Maybe St Joe will buy the old airport and keep it for private jets for the rich and famous!! Or they could give away private hangers as amentities for WaterSound or WaterColor buyers...

Perhaps St Joe can purchase and create "Bay Hangar Camps" A lot purchase includes your own private detached aircraft garage. For an additional $1 Mil, they could offer an adirondack loft apartment above the hangar. I would also include a 30 story condo at the water's edge for those who do not want the the burden of hangar maintenance.

On a serious note, there is an incredible country club community in North Carolina near Ashville, NC called Mountain Air. There is a private runway on top of the mountain in the middle of the golf course. I'm sure St Joe could make it work on the bay.

Ashwood, which did Cypress Dunes in SoWal and Jubliation and Ovation in our neck of the woods, was the lowest bidder, which is too bad, because I think they do nice work.

WOW!

Sounds like a development that could transform the old city like the beach is undergoing. Look for high rises on the bay to follow. Wonder how long it will be before the old paper mill is razed in favor of a marina/condos?

Anyone know who the bidder in PC is? Leucadia Corp, developer of Rosemary Beach and Draper Lake is in Salt Lake City.
