Beginning May 15th, 2008, Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC, the 2007 Inman News' Innovator of the Year winner in the brokerage/franchise category, became the first national full-service real estate company to distribute its listings to a GPS device.

Listings then automatically load on their Dash navigation device."We have been waiting for the day to deliver our listings to GPS users and are thrilled that the Dash Express has finally opened that door to us," said Michael Fischer, senior vice president of marketing for Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC. "Our relationship with Dash is a natural progression in our effort to have consumers engage with Coldwell Banker at every turn so that when the time comes to enter the market they are apt to collaborate with a Coldwell Banker sales associate.

Study Military's impact strong and growing - 03/05/2008

Press release came across my mailbox today.

Who do you turn to for economic security along the Emerald Coast when the bottom drops from the real estate market?

The military.

A study released by Enterprise Florida concluded that military spending remains one of the state's leading growth industries.

DOCUMENTS:
Read the entire Florida Defense Factbook
Read the economic impact analysis: Volume 1 , Volume 2 and Volume 3

It's particularly valuable to Northwest Florida, where defense-related spending accounts for 35 percent of gross regional product.

According to the "Florida Defense Industry Economic Impact Analysis" completed by the University of West Florida's Haas Center for Business Research and Economic Development, between Oct. 1, 2004, and Sept. 30, 2005, in Okaloosa County:

l Eglin Air Force Base and Hurlburt Field generated $2.2 billion in defense spending.

l Countywide, the economic impact of the military was $6.6 billion.

l The average annual earnings per military job is approximately $81,300, or 199 percent more than the area's other jobs in industries such as farming, retail and construction.

The air bases are "incredibly important for all the obvious reasons," said Jim Breitenfeld of the Okaloosa County Economic Development Council. "The high wages. The total spending."

Though the report attributes 73 percent of economic activity in Okaloosa to defense-related spending, Breitenfeld said he wasn't alarmed because the bases are stable employers.

"I don't know if we're dependent (on the military), but it would be a heck of a withdrawal if it disappears tomorrow," he said.

Breitenfeld would like to see Northwest Florida diversify economically in areas where it has competitive advantage such as aviation and high-technology information processing.

In Santa Rosa County, Naval Air Station Whiting Field contributed some $857 million to the economy. Its average annual military wage in fiscal year 2005 was $99,800.

Overall, the military presence in Florida promises only to grow, the Haas report continued. By 2010, military spending statewide might have an impact of $59.5 billion, which would be $7.5 billion more than in 2005.

"While Florida's economy has faced challenges during the past few quarters, particularly in areas hardest hit by the real estate slowdown, high-wage, defense-related jobs are somewhat immune to downturns in the business cycle," said Enterprise Florida president John Adams in a news release.

"They provide strength in Florida's economy even in difficult times."

Kohls Fort Walton Beach coming soon - 03/05/2008

FORT WALTON BEACH - Although its corporate office still will not confirm it, Kohl's is coming.

The Okaloosa County Commission unanimously approved site plans for a new Kohl's department store to be located near the intersection of Beal Parkway and Hurlburt Road in Fort Walton Beach.

With Tuesday's approval, construction is expected to start early next month, said John Kramp, site development manager for Kohl's. He said they hope to have the store open by the end of the year.

"It's going to be a fairly long road (before the store opens)," Kramp said. "The timetable is up in the air."

The first phase will be the demolition of the Bay Furniture building.

The new 103,990-square-foot department store will replace the old Bay Furniture next to Winn-Dixie.

The only question commissioners had about the project before its approval was about its storm-water retention. Storm-water guidelines are stricter now than when the furniture store was built, and Kohl's will have to upgrade the retention ponds.

The Daily News contacted Kohl's corporate office Tuesday afternoon for additional information on the new store. Despite its impending approval, Kohl's would not confirm the store.

"At this time, we've not announced any plans to open a new store in the Fort Walton Beach community," Kohl's spokeswoman Courtney K. Rogaczewski responded in an e-mail. "Kohl's has an ongoing real estate assessment process. At any given time, Kohl's is reviewing sites in communities nationwide. We do not comment on real estate speculation. When we have firm details, we are happy to share it at that time."

That is the same response Rogaczewski sent to the Daily News last month.

Mossy head blackstone development - 03/05/2008

Mossy Head is a peaceful, sleepy community

Also in the future of Mossy Head is the

Blackstone Development, a 1,300 acre major

project that will provide a balanced mix of residences,

shops, services, civic building and recreational

facilities. There will be approximately

3,300 dwellings (2,200 single-family and 1,100

multi-family units), 140,00 square feet of retail

and service, 37,500 square feet of office space,

day care and an 18 hole golf course. Phase I may

begin as early as 2006 with an anticipated buildout

date of 2015-2020.

The size of these developments will call for

infrastructure needs, most importantly water and

sewer. Tom Terrell, President of Mossy Head

Waterworks, is working closely with the Walton

County Board of Commissioners to explore

options to provide the necessary services. District

3 Commissioner Larry Jones, who represents the

area, agrees that there is going to be a pressing

need in the not-so distant future. Details, costs

and a timeframe are still being looked at, but

Jones wants the county to move quickly so that

sewer service is available at the industrial park by

the time the new school opens.

The Mossy Head Elementary School, to be

located on a 20 acre site was donated from the

Board of County Commissioners to the School

Board, is anticipated to be open for the 2008

school year. The School Board is actively looking

for locations to build a Junior and High School.

Commissioner Larry Jones has worked hard

to obtain a grant for a community park and the

efforts paid off when Walton County was awarded

a grant in the amount of $200,000 from DEP

through the Florida Recreation Development

Assistance Program (FRDAP). The park site is

located at 13170 US Highway 90, just behind the

Mossy Head EMS Station. Walton received a

waiver of any matching requirements through the

REDI (Rural Economic Development Initiative).

The park will have a pavilion, playground with

splash pad, swing sets, an exercise trail, picnic

facilities, benches, restrooms, fencing, and parking

area.

Welcome to the future Mossy Head!

Mossy Head economic development - 03/05/2008

Mossy Head is a peaceful, sleepy community nestled on high ground in Northwest Walton County. What makes this area so attractive for economic development? Several factors are involved, including but not limited to:

easy Interstate 10 access, railroad facilities, proximity to Eglin Air Force Base, reasonable housing costs, Walton County Industrial Park, Blackstone Development of Regional Impact (DRI), newschool and $200,000 grant for a community park .The area knows it is about to experience a tremendous growth spurt and long-time pillars ofthe community want to make sure that proper planning procedures are in place to ensure 'smartgrowth' so they can maintain the rural county atmosphere while at the same time becoming an economic force in the county.

The Walton County Industrial Park, which encompasses approximately 333 acres, has been in the planning stages for many years. A master plan for the project was submitted on behalf of the Walton County Board of Commissioners to the Planning and Development Services Department in July 2006. The plan calls for 40%manufacturing, 40% warehouse and 20% of office space. Creating a master plan will encourage businesses to move into the park because it will facilitate obtaining a development order, which in turn means being able to start-up more quickly and begin the process of hiring new employees. The park is also part of an enterprise zone which provides incentives for businesses to locate there.
