HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
The CRA rehabilitated the historic home of General Daniel “Chappie” James and constructed new facilities located within the General Daniel “Chappie” James Memorial Park supporting the General Daniel “Chappie “ James, Jr. Commemorative Museum and community-based Youth Flight Academy located at 1606 - 1608 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. The programming and use of the Museum and Flight Academy, from time to time, require the provision of parking beyond the availability of the parking located on-site.
The Movement for Change offices and parking area, located at 1603 N. Davis Highway, Pensacola, Florida (“MFC Property”), are immediately adjacent to the Chappie James site on the east. Movement for Change is willing to allow shared use of its parking lot by the Museum and Flight Academy when space is available, at no charge.
