After a sometimes tense, more than an hour-long discussion Thursday night, the Pensacola City Council unanimously approved advertising two key parcels under the West Main Master Plan calling for a parking garage on the site.
The city needs to advertise that it is open to proposals to lease the two properties under the West Main Master plan after Silver Hills Development Inc. walked away from its lease option agreement for the two parcels last month.
Promoters of the West Main Master Plan have said that getting some type of parking garage built on the two parcels, called parcels No. 4 and No. 5, is key to making the rest of the West Main Master Plan financially and logistically feasible.
Crawfish are so ingrained into the culture of Pensacola that a year without the city s highly anticipated crawfish festival is a year to forget, which 2020 very much was.
But now it s time to pinch and suck like it s 2019 as the 36th annual Pensacola Crawfish Festival returns this year between April 30 and May 2. The event will move back to Seville Square and Fountain Park after most recently taking place at Community Maritime Park. The location change was prompted by concern over Hurricane Sally damage at Maritime Park, according to festival organizers at Fiesta Pensacola. We are very excited to bring this back to the community after such a hard year last year, said Margaret-Anne West, the event director at Fiesta Pensacola. We re taking all the necessary precautions and we re really excited to have the community come out and listen to some great music, eat some great crawfish and have a great time together once again.

The Pensacola City Council on Monday night unanimously approved a new tax incentive program under the city s Community Redevelopment Agency for development projects in the city s Waterfront Redevelopment District.
The new program allows developers to claim a tax rebate on new property tax revenue generated by a project that meets the program s criteria.
To qualify, a development has to create $40 million in taxable value to a property and meet other financial requirements, including having 10% of the value of the project committed to affordable or workforce housing, before it could be considered by the CRA.
The tax rebates under the program would be limited to 10% of any project s total development cost.
