CHAMBER OF COMMERCE GUIDE & BUSINESS DIRECTORY

This guide is a full color, glossy publication, designed by award-winning graphic designers of the Navarre Press. The publication promotes Navarre and Navarre Beach's history, education, regional attractions, and much more (much like our website in hard copy format). These guides are distributed throughout the Chamber membership, mailed to those who inquire about relocating to our area (including a wide distribution by area Realtors®) and are available through literature displays in the high traffic areas of the Tourist Development and Chamber of Commerce offices. Stop by the Chamber to pick up your copies of the 2007 guide. As always, we will distribute copies to our membership, to the community, and those considering moving to Navarre. Each member will receive a single copy in the mail, but are encouraged to come by and pick up multiple copies for dissemination to your clients and prospects. In addition to a full directory of our business members, inside you will find information on

COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY

Navarre leaders want to facilitate commercial development in our community, but need to collect facts regarding financial barriers from investors and developers. If you (or a client) have considered opening a business in Navarre in the past few years, we would appreciate your feedback on those factors affecting your decision to open or not. The information will be compiled and used for an economic development brainstorming session later this month. Our goal is to create incentives/remove barriers in order to retain/recruit commercial development in Navarre.

NAVARRE PASS

For over 40 years, various citizens and volunteer groups have organized and lobbied for efforts to see a navigable public "pass" developed for purposes of access to the Gulf of Mexico from the sound. Leaders of the Chamber of Commerce have served in various roles in these efforts. While the Chamber does not currently have a formal role, we do support the concept of a public pass and will continue to have our "eyes and ears" on this effort. Currently, there is grass-roots committee that meets occasionally to further pursue this initiative. Although the committee is not a Chamber committee, it is known as the "Navarre-Pohlmann Pass Committee ". Any information provided here is provided by the committee as a service to the general public. POC/Committee Chair: Chuck Pohlmann, Phone #: 803-7780 or e-mail cpohlmann@bellsouth.net. www.navarrepass.com

INCORPORATION STUDY

The Navarre Chamber of Commerce funded Phase I of a feasibility study on Incorporation of Navarre. Phase I only concluded that Navarre is "eligible" or "qualifies" legislatively to consider pursuing a "Phase II" study and what incorporation may or may not entail for Navarre. Phase II would investigate what services Navarre citizens would like to have and whether or not the citizens of Navarre think incorporation would be the answer to the need for those services.

While the Chamber of Commerce supports the effort for a Phase II study on the issues associated with incorporation, we will not officially take a stand on an issue that has yet to be fully researched. We ask our members to form their own opinions based on the facts, until such time as we can decide as an organization whether or not it would be good for Navarre. In essence, we are waiting to see if incorporation would help "Make the Navarre Area the Best Environment to Live, Work and do Business!"

Phase II is being organized by a separate organization (still under the organizational phases) with outside funding, however, as an "issue of interest" for Navarre citizens and businesses, we will stay involved, and publish information here from time to time. By virtue of being volunteers in our community, some participants in Phase II may form their own opinions and make comments for/against the issue. Please know that just because they are members of the Chamber, their opinion is not necessarily that of the Chamber's.

NAVARRE TOWN CENTER

Commissioner Gordon Goodin initiated the Navarre Town Center Planning Process in 2004. As the Commission representative for and a resident of the Navarre Area, he recognized the need to move on an idea that had been discussed for several years. The need for a targeted plan for Navarre was recognized during the South End Special Area Plan. This plan was a broad plan for the entire peninsula encompassing both land use and transportation. It recommended a small area plan focusing solely on the community of Navarre.

The Navarre Town Center Plan is a response to growth demands in the area and a desire for some redevelopment. The Navarre community has a rich history and a strong, involved community, but lacked clear identity. This plan helped Navarre define itself and create standards that will guide development to reinforce that identity. The purpose of the Plan is to:

• Develop a Vision for the Future of Navarre
• Determine how and where growth and development can/should occur
• Establish Guidelines for Development such as Overlay Districts
• Recommend Priorities and Financing Alternatives
