FAA Begin to Test Flight Operations

by NewPFN on January 20, 2010

According to the News Herald:

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) began testing flight operations equipment at the new airport Tuesday and will spend 13 hours in the air over a two-day period. About nine FAA employees are making sure what Holman calls an “electronic road map” for airplanes works perfectly.

The FAA inspection is among several certifications the new airport needs before opening May 23, officials said.

Dan Rowe Appointed Chair of Grand Opening Committee

by NewPFN on February 13, 2010

As reported by The News Herald:

Dan Rowe, executive director of the Bay County Tourism Development Council, has been appointed to chair the committee planning the grand opening ceremonies for the new airport.

According to Rowe: “The opening of this airport is going to be a game-changer for Northwest Florida.” Rowe has set a goal of raising $450,000 for the festivities.

According to The News Herald report:

The Airport Authority board has voted to move forward on a four-day gala to celebrate the opening of the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, but board members are still declining to pay for it, insisting the money should come from corporate sponsors…

What remains will be funding efforts targeting sponsorships from outside companies, organizations and individuals; in-kind contributions to off-set costs; and ticket sales to a “green-tie” dinner scheduled for Friday, May 21.

Tickets for the dinner will go for $1,250 per 10-person table, with individual tickets selling for $125. The first day of operations for the new $318 million airport is set for May 23.

Happy Holiday’s From Sunny Hills Florida

Its official it is already that time of the year again regardless if you are ready for it or not.  Thanksgiving is a little over a week away and Christmas and the News Year is even closer and for most of us and you I am sure we are ready to get the heck out of 2009 and start fresh in 2010.

This year has seen its share of rocky roads throughout the country, Job Loses, People losing their life savings to assholes Like Bernie Madoff and a new story that hit in South Florida about a Lawyer who has also been running a Ponzi scheme that might top the 1 Billion mark by the time the feds are done doing there research on Scott Rothstein who is a local business man located in South Florida allegedly who stole and swindled a lot of money and did not know when to stop.

We had the health reform bill passed but will it actually make a difference for those Americans that need it most?  Time will tell come next year.  Foreclosures are at a all time high throughout the Country and Florida is I believe in the top 7 for the most Foreclosure Homes and Properties which has driven the market down a great deal.

Now in regards to the Sunny Hills Florida community though its not doing great its not doing horrible compared to some other areas out there in Florida.  Prices have down almost 75% in some parts of the community the Sunny Hills Florida area is still a great place to own land with the new Airport in Bay County Florida that is under construction and is set to be completed sometime in April 2010 which this will bring plenty of new Business and residents, workers, and more jobs to this region of Florida which in return will help out the local economy quickly.

Well I wish everyone Happy Holidays and we all are looking forward to 2010 being a great year for Real Estate, Job Growth and overall great things to happen in Florida and the United States of America.
