Escambia Children’s Trust Holding Town Hall Meetings Next Month, Beginning In Molino

July 27, 2023

The Escambia Children’s Trust (ECT) will hold three town hall meetings next month.

The sessions will be held:

  • August 8,  12:30 – 2:30 p.m.  Molino Branch Library, 6450-A Highway 95A
  • August 9, 5-7 p.m. Brownsville Community Center, 3200 West DeSoto Street
  • August 10, 3-5 p.m. Tryon Branch Library, 1200 Langley Avenue

ECT said they are looking for community input as they craft a strategic plan for the future.

In November 2020, 61% of participating voters in Escambia County supported the creation of the Children’s Trust  to be funded by an increase in ad valorem taxes of up to a maximum of 0.5 mil. The Children’s Trust will provide early childhood education, safety, developmental, preventative, health, and well-being services, including after school and summer enrichment programs.

    Thank you so much for helping spread the word about our upcoming Town Hall sessions. We hope to hear from lots of residents of the north end of the county. Your voice and needs matter – especially to me, since I grew up in Cantonment and Ensley.

    I understand that the Molino session may be tough to make, since it is being held in the middle of the day. Please feel free to join us at the evening session in Brownsville if that works better. You may also visit the Trust’s website and go to the Strategic Planning landing page, where we will soon have an online survey. We sincerely look forward to hearing your thoughts on how the Trust should be investing in children’s wellbeing in North Escambia. Thank you.

    Tammy Greer, Executive Director
