Eglin AFB, Duke Field, and Hurlburt are among Northwest Florida bases that will receive a large portion of $85.5 million being budgeted for construction projects. These allocations are for building new construction and for renovating existing buildings. The Army 7th Special Forces Group, nearby Duke Field, in Crestview, Florida, is looking to have their own medical clinic. They will also be completing the construction already ongoing. The Explosive Ordinance Device ( EOD) School will receive major renovation. These are just a few of the projects mentioned in the bills that President Obama will be presented. The news of possible job creation and up to date facilities for our men and women of the Armed Forces is very encouraging. As far as real estate on the emerald coast, we have seen a large amount of growth and the trends are definitely looking up. There are even some areas that are seeing appreciation. With low interest rates, job creation, and moving airmen and soldiers….the Emerald Coast is definitely on an upward trend.
