As I understand it, the road would be moved east of the new airport, going directly into Panama City, with the idea of pumping more money, businesses and growth into Bay County, and Panama City.

Any concrete left over could be used to finish the Hilton house.

Yah , a new interstate toll road that would create jobs, help with the interstate commerce, support the growth around the New Airport, add tourism to SOWAL and surrounding areas. It just might help many people in this great nation of ours. Sounds like a bad idea if “ floating a bond” is involved. Hmmm, lets do nothing that’s much safer.

None of that addresses potential bond investors' questions like "What is the return on my investment?" "How do I know I can trust the bond rating?" "Who is going to make good on my investment if the bond goes into default?" ...on that last point, the taxpayers of Florida should take an interest in the answer.

Judging from the reports provided about this toll road, they're still a long, long way off from turning the road from fantasy into reality.

I see the connection. Focus 2000 = THE ROAD and Coastal Vision 3000 = THE BEACH or THE ROAD to THE BEACH

Following further investigation into the story, which this paper broke, of a private toll road bisecting Washington Country, few concrete answers to inquiries have be given. Although individuals with ties to the Florida Department of Transportation and the Governor’s office have confirmed state support for the project, the specific route and entrances/exits are clouded in secrecy.
