Escambia County Budget Director Amy Lovoy told the Board of County Commissioners this morning at the budget workshop that the costs of the April 29-30 flooding and the jail explosion could cost the county up to $150 million. Yikes!
County Administrator Jack Brown told the board that they have have to delay payment of the $8 million pledged to the city of Pensacola for ST Aerospace. “We have more unknowns than knowns right now,” said Brown.
The county coffers aren’t quite empty, but darn near close.
