The bill -- and its House companion -- are Tallahassee's latest attempt to govern higher education. With a growing number of community colleges now offering four-year degrees, lawmakers are looking for ways to manage the institutions' expanding missions." If this goes through, this could be a huge plus to the area. The kind of businesses you want to move into the area see a local public four year school as a requirement to be there. (and the OW South Walton campus will be a part of this all)
