BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: May 21, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Carloline McCoy, Economic Development Council
SUBJECT: Visitor - Gulf Power Site Certification Program - Bob Sikes Airport
Gulf Power is launching Florida’s first site certification program. The intent of this initiative is to
help publicly-owned sites become certified, reducing the time and expense for businesses to locate
here. The site certification program is designed to provide prospective businesses with
comprehensive data on a site, assist communities with marketing them, and certify that the
locations are ready for industrial development - it expedites the development process thereby
saving time and money. Gulf Power is paying for the program design, for retaining McCallum
Sweeney as the Site Consultant firm and paying 50% of the consultant fees (for Phase II and Phase
III) for processing publicly-owned sites; the public entity property owner submits the remaining
50%.
Documents are attached related to proposed County participation in this program for property at
Bob Sikes Airport. Appendix B - Phase II Acknowledgment is the item to be considered for
approval/signature at this meeting.
