Residents will be glad to learn that the long awaited improvement project running along Front Beach Road, was originally expected to begin last year, is scheduled to begin soon. The project delays are the result of permitting delays and changes in staff members. The project came back on track after the Panama City Beach City Council adopted the project in July. Improvements include the addition of landscaped medians, updated underground utilities, sidewalks, and transit lanes among other road improvements.
On Thursday, the Beach Council approved a contract worth over $14 million to GAC Contractors. The Front Beach Road Community Redevelopment Agency’s Segment 2 project will span from 500 ft west of Richard Jackson Boulevard to South Thomas Drive.
Several Panama City Beach condominiums will benefit from this project. Condos located on the segment being improved including Long Beach condominium, Twin Palms, Ocean Ritz, Ocean Villa, Grandview, Marisol, and Majestic Beach Resort.
