Jackson County site certified

MARIANNA, Fla. -- Marianna Airport Commerce Park has become the first certified site in Jackson County through Gulf Power’s Florida First Sites program. Florida First Sites program was created in 2013 to help communities prepare locations to attract new industries and new jobs to the region. Fourteen sites were initially submitted from public and private landowners. Of those 14 sites, five have been certified and five are still working toward their certification. The 237-acre Jackson County industrial site is owned by the City of Marianna and adjacent to the Marianna Municipal Airport. The airport has two 5,000-foot runways and features 214 developable, contiguous acres. For more information on the program, click here. (Source: Gulf Power, 02/17/15) Previous
