The $7.4 million project included the acquisition of a 3.38 acre parcel with 265 linear feet of frontage along the Intracoastal Waterway, which flows between Innerarity Point and Perdido Key out to Perdido Bay and is being funded through Early Restoration Natural Resources Damage Assessment, or NRDA, funding from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
The park is part of the Florida Coastal Access Project, which will facilitate the creation of five new parks in Panhandle counties using $45 million in Deepwater Horizon spill early restoration funds. The Trust for Public Land managed the land acquisition and is overseeing the design, permitting and construction of the park. Once complete, they will donate the park to the Escambia County. Grant agreements with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection will include funding to cover 10-year budgets for operation and maintenance activities of the park."

ReliantSouth has been selected to facilitate the shell construction of the 36,575 Fresh Market & adjacent shell spaces at Pier Park North on Panama City Beach.
In 1982, The Fresh Market founders decided to open a store that was different from the giant industrialized grocery stores of the time. They wanted to open a smaller store that focused on the customer and the shopping experience. They wanted to create an open-air market with old-world charm, stocked with fresh meats, seafood, fruits, and vegetables. They wanted the store to be “a fresh concept in grocery shopping.” Bringing the European style market stateside was just the beginning. Step inside The Fresh Market and you’ll notice a rustic feel complimented by old-world charm, warm lighting and classical music that provide an inviting atmosphere. This truly makes shopping at The Fresh Market an experience unlike any other. Click here to learn more about The Fresh Market: http://www.thefreshmarket.com
