Malcolm Yonge update – letters sent (updated)

The City of Pensacola has notified property owners around the Malcolm Yonge Gym that demolition of the facility will be on or after Monday, March 4.

Save Malcolm Yonge folks are pushing to get the necessary 4,138 signatures to force a referendum on the demolition.

Teresa Hill wrote, “We have potentially less than seven days to get the petitions in order to beat the clock the Mayor has set, unless Jonathon Green is successful with his injunction.”

She passed along this quote from Green: “I find this a direct and egregious act against the citizens of Pensacola by our city government. To afford the public 60 days to exercise their rights of redress of government was such a simple affordance and would not have harmed the city whatsoever considering this building has been standing for 60 years.”
