It seems as though this thread has digressed from the original post.

Is something happening or going to happen with the SummerCamp development? :dunno:

Today I got an email from St. Joe advertising their upcoming release of SummerCamp. Some highlights include...

On May 5, SummerCamp's new "Welcome Center" will debut.

The homesites are priced from $260,000 for Camp Hall to over $1 million for beachfront. To view the homesites available for purchase, click here.

Carbelle is a cutesy little town but there's not really much beach to speak of over there and no dunes if I recall. :dunno: It will be interesting to see if that area east of Mexico beach takes off. I heard that employees of Arizona chemical have been told they have 2 years left and it's shutting down. Anybody else hear this?

Very interesting about possible closure of Arizona Chemical. Has to happen at some point. Hard to develop the old mill site tracts in the way proposed with the chemical plant (and its odor) so close. Down side is higher unemployment in a community where unemployment is already high.

There are no dunes in the SummerCamp area. The property is very close to sea level and the houses are being built on stilts. The water is somewhat cloudy because of the nearby rivers.

During a walk earlier this week I passed a St. Joe employee wearing a SummerCamp hat. I inquired about the status of SummerCamp and he indicated most of the roads are in and construction on several houses was under way. Lawsuits to prevent the development have been settled and they (JOE) are moving ahead with the community.
