CITY OF MILTON AND PENSACOLA & PERDIDO BAYS ESTUARY PROGRAM INVITE COMMUNITY TO CARPENTER'S PARK OPEN HOUSE The City of Milton, in partnership with the Pensacola & Perdido Bays Estuary Program (PPBEP), invites the community to attend a public open house on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm at Milton City Hall, 6738 Dixon Street, to learn about ongoing research and restoration planning efforts focused on the environmental health, history, and future of Carpenter's Park and the surrounding Blackwater River watershed. Supported through the Pensacola and Perdido Bays Estuary Program (PPBEP), the project brings together researchers, environmental professionals, and community stakeholders to better understand the park's environmental conditions, history and future restoration opportunities. Researchers from the University of West Florida and project partners have been studying water quality, habitat conditions, historical ecology and site characteristics that influence the health of the park and surrounding waterways. "By combining science, history, and community engagement, we're gaining a better understanding of this important waterfront area and helping ensure it remains a vibrant community asset and environmental resource for generations to come," said Matt Posner, Director of the Pensacola and Perdido Bays Estuary Program.
Residents are encouraged to attend the open house, meet project partners and learn more about the research taking place at Carpenter's Park. Interactive displays will highlight: • Water quality monitoring and watershed conditions • Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and topographic surveys • Historical ecology, including changes in fish, wildlife, aquatic plants and habitat over time • Human and natural influences affecting sediment, nutrients, and water quality • Historical research documenting the evolution of the park and surrounding area The information gathered through this effort will help guide future restoration planning and identify opportunities to improve habitat, water quality, ecosystem health, and community resilience. "Every landscape tells a story," said Dr. Matthew Schwartz of the University of West Florida. "Through historical records, environmental monitoring and site investigations, we're piecing together how this area has changed over time and identifying opportunities to support a healthier ecosystem moving forward."

• Green Simmons has begun interior demolition and construction of the stormwater improvements. • Demolition of the building exterior has commenced, with new building walls going up within 30-60 days. • The center will reopen with services in June 2027. With nearly $10 million in grant funding awarded in 2023 and some Local Option Sales Tax funds, the project will enable Fricker to offer a wide variety of leisure and cultural activities, special events, and services that promote health, exercise, fitness, relaxation, enjoyment and learning. The renovated center will include: • A career lab • A senior center • STEM Lab for students • Health and wellness access • Increased weather resiliency, including expanded stormwater treatment • Increased parking • ADA-compliant playground updates • A multipurpose field/green space • Additional renovations to restrooms, entryways, the kitchen, social hall, library and more. "We’re building more than just a facility— we’re building a space that reflects the heart of this community,” Mayor D.C. Reeves said. “Our goal is to maintain what we already have and make it resilient enough to endure for many more years to come.” The Fricker project is part of the city's Direction 25 program, a nearly $22 million effort to invest in and revitalize parks and public recreation spaces across the city.

ESCAMBIA COUNTY DEPLOYS 43 NEW ARTIFICIAL REEFS
DONUT STRIKE FOR MANNA FOOD AND FUNDS DRIVE IS JUNE 24-26
Escambia County recently deployed 43 new artificial reefs, providing excellent habitats for marine life and adding even more local reef sites for anglers and divers to explore. The reefs were deployed by the Escambia County Marine Resources Division and Walter Marine, with 217 concrete modules distributed across the 43 artificial reef locations. Funding sources for the new artificial reefs included: • $500,000 from Deepwater Horizon Natural Resource Damage Assessment for 39 sites • $60,000 from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Artificial Reef Program, funded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Sport Fish Restoration Program for three sites One of the new artificial reefs was privately funded by friends and family of the late Capt. Robert Edward "Eddie" Lively, a local charter
Local firefighters and law enforcement officers are answering a different kind of emergency call: the growing need for food assistance in our community. These brave men and women will be trading donuts for donations as they rally the community together to help fight local hunger. No sprinkles. No glaze. No jelly-filled treats — until families have the food they need. That’s the message behind the annual Donut Strike for Manna. From Wednesday, June 24, through Friday, June 26, first responders are going on strike against the disc-shaped delicacies to inspire donations of food and funds to support hungry neighbors in need. They won’t give in until truckloads of healthy, nonperishable food have been donated. Each day of the Donut Strike, first responders will be stationed at grocery stores across Escambia and Santa Rosa counties from 3:00 to 6:00 PM to collect nutritious food and monetary donations. For a list of participating grocery stores in your area, please visit www.mannahelps.org. Donations may be dropped off directly at Manna, 3030 North E Street, Pensacola, FL 32501, any day during the week of the strike from 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM. Entering its ninth year, the annual pastry protest has become a powerful force for good, generating the equivalent of more than a quarter-million healthy meals for local children and families facing food insecurity. Manna is grateful for the continued support of Hanto +
boat captain and lifelong deep sea fisherman who passed away in 2025. These artificial reefs are constructed as part of an experimental design process, which provides opportunities for scientific research and insight into optimal designs for future artificial reef projects. The artificial reef experimental design process was a collaborative effort by the Escambia County Marine Resources Division, Escambia County Marine Advisory Committee, Santa Rosa County Environmental Department, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Florida Sea Grant, University of West Florida and Escambia County high schools' science staff, teachers and students. The location of the new artificial reefs is 4.5 nautical miles at 110 degrees from Pensacola Pass, with water depths of 45-55 feet. Coordinates for the new artificial reefs are in the Escambia County Public Artificial Reefs List.

DISASTER DASH 5K HELPS KICK OFF HURRICANE SEASON PREPAREDNESS As Atlantic Hurricane Season begins, approximately 400 participants, including 250 runners, gathered in downtown Pensacola on June 6, 2026, for the 3rd Annual Disaster Dash 5K, hosted by Be Ready Alliance Coordinating for Emergencies (BRACE). Now in its third year, the Disaster Dash has become an annual tradition that brings the community together while highlighting the importance of disaster preparedness. Held each June near the start of hurricane season, the event serves as a reminder that preparedness begins long before a storm is in the forecast.

"The Disaster Dash is a fun way to remind people that preparedness starts before there is a storm in the forecast. Every emergency plan created and every disaster kit assembled helps make our community stronger and safer."

SURVEY SHOWS MOST RESIDENTS THINK CITY IS HEADED IN RIGHT DIRECTION
SANTA ROSA COUNTY CUTS RIBBON ON LIVING SHORELINE PROJECT IN FLORIDATOWN PARK
Nearly two-thirds of residents believe Pensacola is headed in the right direction and making progress on efforts that are making their city a better place. That is a key finding of the Resident Satisfaction Survey conducted by the University of West Florida's Haas Center, which has completed the survey since 2019. The annual survey provides an opportunity for residents to share their opinions on city services, facilities and initiatives. Mayor D.C. Reeves and his leadership team use the data to help guide discussions and strategic planning. “What gets measured gets improved,” Reeves sad. “That’s a truism that I have seen play out time and time again. The Residents Satisfaction survey is an important tool we can use as a checkpoint for our progress and guardrails to help guide where our efforts should focus.” Key points from this year’s survey results include: • 66 percent of residents believe the city is moving in the right direction. • Residents continued to express a high appreciation and care for Waterfront
Santa Rosa County officials, community members and project partners gathered today at Floridatown Park to celebrate the completion of the Floridatown Park Living Shoreline Project, the first project of its kind in Santa Rosa County and a major effort to protect the park’s shoreline, preserve historical resources, and improve the health of Escambia Bay. Floridatown Park provides public boating access and recreational opportunities for residents and visitors. Over the years, the shoreline experienced significant erosion from storms, storm surge and hurricanes, including Hurricanes Ivan and Sally. To address the erosion, Santa Rosa County constructed approximately 1,000 feet of living shoreline. Unlike traditional hardened shoreline protection, living shorelines use natural materials and vegetation to reduce erosion, improve water quality and create habitat for fish and wildlife. “Floridatown Park is more than just a boat ramp and recreation area—it’s a place
Access (29 percent), Feeling Safe in the Community (26 percent), and Arts, Culture and Festivals (24 percent). • Addressing the High Cost of Housing (20 percent) and Reduction of homelessness (19 percent) remained the top priorities among residents. • Future jobs in Aviation & Aerospace and Hospitality & Tourism tied at 21 percent for the most promising prospects among respondents. • Residents expressed a high favorability for allocating parking revenues toward Green Spaces (50 percent) and a New Downtown Parking Garage (30 percent). • 65 percent of respondents said they get their information about the City from social media. About the Survey: The survey was conducted from Feb. 23, 2026 to April 3, 2026, utilizing social media, email, postcards with QR codes and URLs, and a phone number. There were 20,777 postcards mailed to city residents. This outreach generated 1,815 valid responses.

Pensacola Navy League Board of Directors member Rear Adm. (Ret.) Don Quinn presented the award to Duff and recognized nominees from other Pensacola-area commands.

with deep historical and environmental value,” said Commissioner Bobby Burkett, District 1. “This project protects the shoreline, helps preserve important cultural resources and improves the bay for future generations. It’s an investment in both our history and our environment.” The area holds significant historical importance. A 2002 archaeological investigation by the University of West Florida identified Native American village sites, cemeteries and artifacts within Floridatown Park that were vulnerable to coastal erosion. The area is also connected to Florida’s early history, as the Old Spanish Trail once passed through Floridatown. The total project cost was just over $1 million and was funded through a combination of state grants totaling over $900,000 through the Resilient Florida Planning grant, the FDEP Coastal Resiliency Implementation grant, the Coastal Resiliency grant and a $101,000 county funding match.
