WELCOME TO OUR BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY.

Since its formation in 1913, the Bay County Chamber of Commerce, and Bay County, has developed a long history of embracing newcomers. Although it is over 100 years old, Bay County is fresh, vibrant and proud. Efforts to encourage entrepreneurship and the recruitment and retention of new business and industry remains priorities for leadership. Located in Northwest Florida, Bay County is centered between Pensacola and Tallahassee, one hundred miles from either destination. The county is comprised of seven municipalities, each with their own mayor/commissioner form of government. They include Panama City, Panama City Beach, Lynn Haven, Springfield, Mexico Beach, Callaway and Parker. The Bay County Commission governs the unincorporated areas of the community. We are home to Tyndall Air Force Base and the Naval Support Activity, which employ over 9,641 military and civilian personnel. In addition, there is a large presence of supporting defense contractors in the area.

Big city life with small town appeal makes Bay County a wonderful place to visit, but an even better place to live!

Hathaway Bridge by Melody Barton

With 27 miles of white, sandy beaches to explore along with snorkeling, fishing, boating and diving, you are sure to get your feet wet. Adventurers can hunt for treasure aboard a pirate cruise, encounter dolphins on one of the beach’s sightseeing boats or explore beautiful Shell Island and St. Andrews State Park. Thrill seekers hold on tight to ride the world’s largest speedboat, jet ski along the coast, or take a plunge at the 6-acre Shipwreck Island Water Park. Beyond the beach, Bay County enriches the lives of visitors and residents with a strong cultural presence through many organizations. Art and other exhibits, as well as theatrical productions, are brought to the community through the Panama City Centre for the Arts, Bay Arts Alliance, the Marina Civic Center, the Martin Theater, Kaleidoscope Theater, the Science and Discovery Center of NWFL and the Bay County Library. Bay County also enjoys many events such as concerts, triathlons, festivals, motorcycle rallies and more throughout the year. Those looking to relax can enjoy a round of golf or take a sunset stroll along the many marinas. Families can see tropical animals and beautiful botanical gardens at Zoo World, or catch a sea lion show or swim with the dolphins at Gulf World. If shopping is on your agenda, visit one of the many boutiques in the historic downtown districts of St. Andrews and Panama City, or check out the shopping plazas in town or on the beach.

There is plenty to do on and off the beach for all tastes and lifestyles.

Our growing community lures people in with the beauty of the area, business and educational opportunities, cultural activities and southern charm. A seemingly leisure lifestyle rests on the surface of a booming economy that provides an excellent quality of life to our citizens.

the communities SPRINGFIELD On February 26, 1935, thirty-eight qualified voters met at W.B. Gray’s Hardware and Lumber Company to select officers and organize a new municipal government. After the town officials had been elected, it was necessary to designate the official name of the municipality. There was only one name proposed: Springfield. Springfield has grown into a thriving, mainly residential, city with an up-to-date water and sewer system, City Hall, innovative police and fire departments, a rentable community center, two beautiful walking parks, boat ramp access to Martin Lake, sports field, playground and a sports complex with two baseball fields and a soccer field.

Welcome to Springfield…”Moving ahead, together”.

MEXICO BEACH A small, coastal community located on the western end of the Florida Panhandle’s Forgotten Coast and the eastern end of Bay County, Mexico Beach is approximately 3.5 miles long and 1.4 miles deep. It is currently home to 1,200 permanent residents, comprised primarily of retirees, base personnel from neighboring Tyndall Air Force Base and a number of business owners and their employees. Because of its proximity to the beautiful, emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico, its sugar white sands and quiet, non-commercialized setting, the community is a natural pick as a vacation destination for families looking for a getaway to a more traditional, less busy destination. Many families choose to relocate to this area to enjoy the warm, sunny days of “Northwest Florida’s Unforgettable Coast,” where the Southern hospitality is as authentic as the Old Florida charm. Quaint Mexico Beach is situated far enough away from the crowds and congestion of tourists, yet strategically close enough to urban amenities such as medical facilities, airports, and libraries. Due to its unique natural and social assets, Mexico Beach’s economy is almost entirely dependent on tourism. The City’s beautiful, pristine beaches are also the safest in the area due to the lack of rip currents, which are prevented by a sand bar that parallels the beach, adding to its attractiveness for those who like water activities. In addition to the beautiful public beaches, the City 14

of Mexico Beach features an 823 foot long wooden pier and a new, state-of-the-art, three-ramp boat ramp on the canal, which allows boaters direct access to some of the best fishing spots in the Gulf. A canal upgrade was just finished that improved the seawall, walkways and added multiple boat slips for more to enjoy. The 3.5 miles of U.S. Highway 98, which run parallel to the Gulf of Mexico, boasts zero traffic lights and a scenic, unobstructed view of the Gulf. While much of Mexico Beach continues to convey a predominant spirit echoing a setting from the fifties and sixties, some change has begun in the community. A number of townhome developments, adhering to the height limitations are emerging where 1960s block style construction once stood. The results are more retirement/relocation living and investment opportunities, as well as additions to the community’s vacation rental inventory.

On the near horizon, Mexico Beach anticipates potential expansion to the west end of the city with ongoing communications between city officials and the landowner regarding various development ideas. The proposed area for annexation lies between Mexico Beach and Tyndall AFB. Mexico Beach, with its intrinsic natural beauty, friendly people and dedicated conviction toward managed growth and preservation of natural resources, is a superb community in which to vacation, relocate, or retire.

Recycling

Bay County recycles primarily through the Bay County Waste-to-Energy (WTE) facility. Almost all household and commercial waste collected curbside within Bay County is processed at the WTE facility, and is converted into electrical energy, so the majority of Bay County residents participate in recycling and do not even realize it.

2018 GUIDE TO DISCOVERING BAY COUNTY


living The facility produces enough electrical power each year to power thousands of homes. The WTE combustion process is recognized by the State of Florida as a renewable resource, and Bay County receives recycling credits for each megawatt of power produced by the facility. Bay County residents may also take materials to drop, buy-back or other recycling centers. For information on these centers or programs, call 850.784.6127 or e-mail recycle@baycountyfl. gov.

education BAY DISTRICT SCHOOLS Bay District schools deliver high quality education in a collaborative, safe, and respectful environment. Our commitment is to inspire students in the development of character with the acquisition and use of knowledge and skills as we prepare them for life and work in a diverse, global economy. The Superintendent, School Board, school leaders, teachers, and staff are wholly committed to educational excellence with consistent, incremental improvement in student achievement. There are learning opportunities for ALL students, from the intellectually gifted to the academically challenged. Special needs students are served in traditional schools throughout the county and also in several targeted special purpose schools. Middle and high school students have the advantage of preparing for experiences beyond high school with a broad range of advanced academic programs and career education opportunities.

The installation and integration of advanced hardware and software allows educators to tap into and engage students through the digital world to which they are accustomed. Multimedia instructional tools give teachers and students an edge in the classroom with interactive white board lesson delivery, connection to global resources and devices that provide immediate student assessment as instruction is delivered. Students and schools also benefit from award-winning business partnerships and a legion of mentors and volunteers through the support of business leaders, military ranks, and community members. Additionally, thanks to the vote from our community for a half cent sales tax, our schools are on a revolving renovation schedule and an equitable plan of technology installations have been completed in all core classrooms throughout the entire school district.
