The City of Pensacola, Escambia County and Baptist Health Care have entered into a partnership of sorts to explore the possibility of triggering a portion of the west side into a re-birth.
A year and a half ago they hired Live Work Learn Play, a Montreal-based real estate development and advisory firm, to look at how the area around Baptist Hospital might be revitalized in the short term and long term.
“It is an opportunity to create the next great Pensacola district,” said Richard Martz, LWLP partner and principal, who met with neighborhood residents and other interested individuals Monday night to share findings and gather feedback.
