The City Council had previously determined that it was in the best interests and
welfare of the citizens of the City that the real property situated at 106 McGriff Street NE,
Fort Walton Beach, Florida, be purchased for public purposes and use by the City. The City
purchased that property and cleared a blighted building and crime area. There remains a
public purpose for that parcel of land.
However, the Beulah First Baptist Church, located at 109 McGriff Street NE, Fort
Walton Beach, Florida, and the current owner of the property at 108 McGriff Street NE, Fort
Walton Beach, Florida, and 36 Carson Drive NE, Fort Walton Beach Florida, has offered to
exchange property situated at 36 Carson Drive NE, Fort Walton Beach, Florida, for the
property at 106 McGriff Street NE, F ort Walton Beach, Florida. Beulah Baptist needs the
parcel at 106 McGriff Street NE, Fort Walton Beach The City Council therefore finds that:
a. the property located at 36 Carson Drive NE, Fort Walton Beach, Florida,
considering the Beal Parkway Neighborhood Plan, would have a higher value and public
purpose than the parcel at 106 McGriff Street NE, Fort Walton Beach, Florida;
b. the exchange of the two parcels is in the best interests and welfare of the
citizens of the City.
