Tanyard residents protested stormwater pond in 2014

Yesterday, I reported that the city had not held a public hearing on the Government Street Stormwater project for Tanyard residents.

A reader pointed out an article from July 11, 2014 that previewed such a meeting that was to be held on Tuesday, July 15, 2014. Read PNJ.

However, we can’t find any reports on the hearing.

We do know that Tanyard residents protested the pond on Friday, July 18: “A dozen protesters turned out Friday afternoon in front of Pensacola City Hall objecting to plans for a new stormwater retention pond they say is too close to a downtown park where children play.” Read PNJ.

I will adjust my earlier post.
