Bergosh pledges to honor OLF-8 master plan

   August 5, 2024

On WCOA’s “Real News with Rick Outzen” this morning, Escambia County Commissioner Jeff Bergosh repeated his commitment to the OLF-8 master plan.

“I’m not going to vote for anything that violates the master plan,” he said. “The master plan was the agreement between the county and those residents, and I’m going to honor it.”

Last Thursday, several Beulah residents protested a proposed distribution center for OLF-8. They carried signs stating “No Warehouse on OLF-8.”

“They are concerned about their way of life, and they perceive some of the information that’s come out as not complete and as a threat to their lifestyle,” Bergosh said. “It’s an unfortunate circumstance because we are under a nondisclosure agreement, but this is really a dynamic company that’s coming in. We’ve got two more companies behind them. I wish I could talk more about it, but I hear them; I’m listening to them.”
