BACKGROUND:
Meeting in regular session on April 6, 2017, the Board approved staff to pursue the acquisition of 14777 Perdido Key Drive.

Escambia County staff had two appraisals performed on this property, which valued the property at $795,000 and at $950,000.  The average of the two appraisals is $872,500.  


The acquisition of this parcel would expand and enhance the public access to the Gulf of Mexico and is ideal since it is located next to an existing public beach access.

The property was previously a condominium development with 10 (ten) units.  It is currently vacant and the owners of the units are considered to be owners of the whole property.
