RESTORE Committee To Evaluate, Recommend Scoring For Projects

February 26, 2015

Residents and stakeholders are encouraged to attend the upcoming RESTORE Advisory Committee (RAC) meeting on March 2. The RAC will evaluate at least two scoring options for potential RESTORE projects and make a recommendation to the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners (BCC).

The first option is described as a balanced approach where the environmental, economic and infrastructure categories are weighted evenly in the scoring matrix. The other scoring option has the environmental category weighted more heavily. In both cases, results from the recent public survey were taken into consideration in developing the options, with the second option being closely representative of the public input that favored giving more weight to environmental projects.

Attendance provides an opportunity for the public to weigh in on the choices the RAC will consider. The RAC could select one of the above choices or decide on a hybrid of the two, but ultimately it’s anticipated that they will send only one recommendation to the BCC for final approval and adoption.

Those who cannot attend the meeting in person can still comment via email to RESTORE@myescambia.com.
