Full Bloom

If this were a garden, it would now be in full bloom.

I am speaking of Morris Court II and III. This new community is a joint project with the City of Pensacola, The Area Housing Commission and Carlisle Development Group that has now opened it's second and third phase of apartments to complete it's community project for affordable housing in our city.
Morris Court replaces much needed housing for our city residents that was lost during Hurricane Ivan. There was 26 million contributed in federal and local funding that allowed this community to be built and still be affordable for the citizens of Pensacola.
The surrounding heritage oaks, playground and pathways connecting each living area give such a sense of peace and connection with each other.
As I have said before, "neighborhoods are where our lives happen" and Morris Court is rock solid, creating a comfortable and pleasing environment for all ages. With this stable and welcoming community in place, citizens can focus on being a family, connecting with their neighbors and in turn have a better chance of thriving in our community.
We need more of this kind of endeavors in areas around downtown to support or work force and our retirees. Communities are based on each of us sharing our lives with each other and this is a prime example. Go take a look at this new community on Godfrey Street just South of Baptist Hospital and Lakeview Center.
Congratulations Pensacola, this is another success story.
