Escambia County Triumph Gulf Coast wish list: over $850M

The Escambia Board of County Commissioners will consider its Triumph Gulf Coast priorities at its Committee of the Whole at 9 a.m. Commission Chair Doug Underhill asked the five elected governing boards in Escambia County–City of Pensacola, Town of Century, Escambia County School Board, Emerald Coast Utilities Authority and Soil & Water Conservation Board–to submit their lists of projects.

The Pensacola City Council failed to approve a list when it met last week. Councilmen Larry Johnson, Brian Spencer and Andy Terhaar were absent. Councilman P.C. Wu refused to vote on any council item without the other members in attendance. Without four votes, the council could not approve any projects.

Mayor Ashton Hayward forwarded his requests without a council vote. Soil & Water is the only board other than Pensacola City Council that do not send in any projects.

The lists totaled $850 million. There are also another 17 county projects without cost estimates.

Of course, the BCC can’t expect get Triumph dollars to fund the entire list. Through 2033, the non-profit will distribute $1.5 billion to the Panhandle counties impacted by the 2010 BP oil spill.

Triumph has $300 million in the bank to distribute now.
