County Acquires Property For Dirt Road Paving Projects Near Davisville And Century
December 13, 2020
The Escambia County Commission has approved property purchases for two North Escambia paving projects.
The BOCC voted to acquire about one-third of an acre located in the northeast corner of Pine Barren Church Road and West Highway 4 near Davisville and 2.4 acres along Salters Lake Road near Century for a 50 foot easement. The total cost for both properties from Seven States Timberlands, LLC is $10,000.
Pine Barren Church Road runs from West Highway 4 to Highway 97. About 5,300 linear feet is dirt and part of Escambia County’s Dirt Road Paving Program. County crews will prepare the road base, while the paving and striping work will be contracted out. The property acquisition will allow the project to move forward.
The portion of Salters Lake Road between North Century Boulevard and the railroad tracks, about 2,170 feet, is also part of the dirt road paving program. The acquisition is also needed for right of way.

Pineville Rd. When does this Ole Gal get some Love and Attention???
Unfortunately, escambia county does not have that much of a taxpayer base.. let’s be real? The beach and homes along scenic highway?. It is surely growing, but it’s not nearly enough. Large homes in value of 300k or more need to be built at a consistent rate through 2027 to see any large scale increase in funds at escambia county. Unfortunately, its reality and not what citizens want to hear. We all want nice paved roads with wide sidewalks, lighting, traffic lights, no democratt panhandlers,
well trained EMS, fast police and fire response times but you dont get that without big tax hikes.
Let’s be honest, the County Commission could care less about Pineville Road being paved. After speaking to our Commissioner, its obvious we are not a priority. Money is better spent elsewhere, in there eyes.
Will we ever get enough support from the Commission to pave PINEVILLE ROAD????
WHAT ABOUT WIGGINS LANE OFF OF HANKS RD
