PORT OF PENSACOLA RECEIVES FUNDING TO BE HOST PORT TO AMERICAN

By Morgan Cole

The Port of Pensacola has secured a total of $12.4 million in grant funding to complete renovations to Warehouse 10, which will allow American Magic to permanently relocate their headquarters to the Port of Pensacola.

American Magic is the American entry in the 37th Cup in Barcelona which is a prestigious international sailing competition.

Of the $12.4 million secured, $8.5 million is being provided by Triumph Gulf Coast, and $3.9 million is being provided by Governor Ron DeSantis’ Florida Job Growth Grant Fund. The funding will cover the design, renovation, and completion of Warehouse 10. As part of the renovations, a 50-foot addition will be made, and a dock and boat ramp will be designed and constructed.

“Once completed, the facility on the Port of Pensacola will allow American Magic to permanently relocate their training and boat building facility creating 170 high wage jobs in advanced manufacturing, engineering and research and development for marine and other technology sectors,” Pensacola Port Director, Clark Merritt said.

American Magic has used the Port of Pensacola on a temporary, seasonal basis since 2018, most recently training on Pensacola Bay in preparation for the 37th America’s Cup in Barcelona.

American Magic is developing a pathway for a generation of engineers, boatbuilders and technicians to enhance the marine industry in the United States and set Pensacola on a trajectory of being a leader on the world stage.

“This award to the City of Pensacola will strengthen the Port of Pensacola’s infrastructure and promote economic opportunities in the sailing industry for the Florida Panhandle,” Gov. Ron DeSantis said in a news release. “We believe in making strategic investments that will create job opportunities and ensure Florida’s prosperity for generations to come.”

The grant-funded project will be constructed on publicly owned land, with the City of Pensacola retaining ownership of the land, facility, and associated infrastructure. American Magic, along with the other tenants of the Port of Pensacola, will have the privilege of utilizing the warehouse facility, with the dock and boat ramp made accessible.

“Today is a huge step in making Pensacola, Florida the sailing capital of the United States,” Pensacola Mayor D.C. Reeves said. “The support from the Triumph board and American Magic Sailing is monumental for the city, The Port of Pensacola and the entire region. We appreciate the board seeing this project the way our administration has: The American Magic team calling Pensacola its permanent home will be transformational for this community.”

The design and construction of this project is anticipated to take 24 months. Job creation is expected to begin immediately, with a total rampup period of 24 months from construction completion.

This project aligns with the publicly approved Portside Vision Plan, and it firmly establishes the Port of Pensacola and the state of Florida as the premier location for cutting-edge watercraft and boatbuilding innovation on a global scale.

BAPTIST HEALTH CARE FOUNDATION TO NAME NEW HOSPITAL SURGERY DISCHARGE LOUNGE IN HONOR OF MARGIE & ALAN MOORE

Margie and Alan Moore have made an impactful gift to Baptist Health Care Foundation to benefit the new Baptist Hospital campus, scheduled to open in September. The Foundation will name the surgery discharge lounge and the 4th floor conference room in the hospital’s cardiovascular intensive care unit in honor of the Moores’ gift. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to support an organization like Baptist that is community-owned,” Margie Moore said. “The hospital itself is going to be a game changer for our entire community. Baptist has put so much thought into every single step. Some of the strategic decisions that went into the hospital are amazing. It’s going to help people through whatever their journey is to make it the best possible situation they can have, not even just for the patients and families but for the employees too. Baptist has been very thoughtful in making a great place for everyone to work and heal.” The surgery discharge lounge will provide a quiet discharge area for outpatient surgery patients to exit the hospi- tal privately. This space will have a dedicated elevator between the surgery floor and the lounge waiting area that will offer increased privacy and allow patients to be picked up directly outside the lounge by their caretakers. Margie and Alan Moore, who have been married for more than 40 years, said that supporting Baptist seemed like a natural fit in their philanthropic priorities. Alan was born at Baptist in 1952, one year after the hospital opened. Both of their daughters were born at Baptist, as well as two of their four grandchildren. Margie has been serving on Baptist boards and committees since 1990. “Margie has been passionate about Baptist’s Mission through her continued service to our organization for more than 20 years,” President and CEO of Baptist Health Care, Mark Faulkner said. “We are truly thankful to her and Alan for their long-term support, dedication and generosity. Their gift will help us serve our patients and families in the best way possible for generations to come through our new Baptist Hospital campus.”
