Escambia County District 1 Commissioner Jeff Bergosh, county staff and Sigma Consulting invite the public to the Beulah Master Plan Design Charette Tuesday, Dec. 5, and Wednesday, Dec. 6, at the Beulah Senior Citizens Center, 7425 Woodside Road. One or more Escambia County Commissioners may be in attendance.
“Folks can walk through, look at the pictures, and then at six there’ll be a presentation. That’s when we’re Sigma and the county planning staff is going to kick it off and start taking the input,” said Commissioner Bergosh. “We’re going to lay out the schedule of charettes. This is an exciting development for Beulah. What you see with the Navy Federal campus and the multi-use park is just the tip of the iceberg of what we can do with Beulah overall if the citizens get engaged, and I believe that they will.”
The two-day charrette will allow county staff and Sigma Consulting to further engage with citizens and learn more about planning for Beulah. From 6-8 p.m. on Dec. 5, Sigma Consulting will hold a short presentation followed by activities designed to provide Sigma with residents’ preferences for design improvements to the Beulah Master Plan. From 1-5 p.m. on Dec. 6, Sigma will use an open design studio format to quantify and consolidate data collected from the previous day. A presentation will follow the open design studio from 6-7 p.m.
The Beulah Master Plan is funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Treasury under the RESTORE Act program.
