Podcast: Waverly, City moving ahead

Pensacola Mayor D.C. Reeves  shares the latest update on the Waverly on Garden Street. The grocery store and apartments may be the first phase as the city works on timelines for street improvements based on conversations city official had last week with the developer.

The mayor said, “We’re working with them on making sure that we’re supporting their effort, but also our partnership with them to help us enhance the streetscape there that’ll allow the store to be there and really make for a beautiful Spring Street and entry into our downtown.”

He continued, “They need those improvements for a store to be able to go in and to get deliveries, which makes sense. So we’re just having conversations about the sequence of funding. We should be good to go, and I’m really excited about that and getting more apartments online. You know, the demand is unbelievable downtown.”
