Stay current on 30-A real estate news, the Bay County International Airport construction process and Beach Properties of Florida news. http://www.beachpropertiesofflorida.com/news.php Most of the country is waiting for the economy to turn, or even for the federal stimulus to have some measurable effect on local economies, but at least one part of the country has a third option. In the Florida panhandle, in particular the Panama City area, a new international airport--under construction, scheduled for completion next year--promises economic stimulation, both in terms of business growth and real estate development. http://www.beachpropertiesofflorida.com/news.php?id=65 The new airport is the start of major long-term development. Jerry Ray is looking to the future. His firm, the Jacksonville, Florida-based St. Joe Company, is working with the Bay County Board of Commissioners, officials at the Panama City-Bay County Airport and members of the National Audubon Society on the LEED-certified Panama City-Bay County Airport. http://www.beachpropertiesofflorida.com/news.php?id=64 When it comes to Panama City’s new airport, Jerry Ray speaks with the passion and conviction of an evangelist. Much like a preacher with a Bible, he’s armed with his own historical perspective. For instance, the beachside Florida Panhandle hotspot, long popular with spring breakers and summer vacationers, was known as a major port in the early 20th century. Originally called Harrison, it was renamed to connect with the still-new Panama Canal and was convenient to ships from both the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean. http://www.beachpropertiesofflorida.com/news.php?id=63 The housing market is beginning to stabilize, and the recession should end later this year, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress this week. http://www.beachpropertiesofflorida.com/news.php?id=62 Watch this video by CNBC http://www.beachpropertiesofflorida.com/news.php?id=60 Second location open in WaterColor http://www.beachpropertiesofflorida.com/news.php?id=59 The Panama City-Bay County International Airport is situated around 6km from Panama City in the state of Florida. http://www.beachpropertiesofflorida.com/news.php?id=57
