After months of work and input from thousands of stakeholders, leaders in Panama City, Florida unanimously approved a new strategic vision for the historic downtown area and its waterfront. This document is part of long-term recovery and economic restructuring following Hurricane Michael, which swept through the region one year ago. Officials want to make the city a better place to live, work and invest, setting an example for the whole Florida Panhandle. The long-term recovery plan includes specific ways to improve and actions the city can take to achieve them. Some of the recommendations include updating the city’s waterfront with tree-shaded walkways and bikeways, improving the Harrison Avenue streetscape, adding housing downtown, strengthening the stormwater infrastructure, adapting to sea level rise, and upgrading parks and other public gathering places.
