CRESTVIEW The contractor responsible for widening the first three phases of PJ Adams Parkway to four lanes has been awarded the job of widening the fourth and final segment of the ongoing project.
In August 2019, the county hired C.W. Roberts Contracting of Freeport to widen and make other upgrades to the parkway between State Road 85 and Wild Horse Drive at a cost of $14.9 million.
On Tuesday, the Okaloosa County Commission unanimously approved paying the company a little more than $5 million to widen the parkway between Wild Horse Drive and Crab Apple Avenue and relocate city of Crestview utilities along the route. The city will reimburse the county the almost $1.2 million cost of the relocation work.
SHALIMAR A children’s park in Bluewater Bay to honor a boy who died in an early 2019 accident could be ready to open to the public in April.
Twelve-year-old Abram Sitcer died April 28, 2019, when his bicycle was struck by a car at the roundabout intersection of Bluewater Boulevard and Southwind Drive in Bluewater Bay.
In remembrance of Abram, the owners of the Bluewater Bay Golf Course have donated a 1-acre parcel on Southwind Drive, about a quarter-mile south of the accident scene, for the park, to be called Abram Park.
The golf course owners partnered with Okaloosa County, the Bluewater Bay Municipal Services Benefit Unit (MSBU) and the nonprofit Friends of Bluewater Bay to establish the park.
