Santa Rosa County missed out on critical infrastructure funding for the current fiscal year because county staff failed to meet a deadline from the Florida Department of Transportation, despite multiple meetings and reminders from the state agency.
The funding program, called Small County Outreach Program (SCOP), allots $20 million each year to counties in FDOT s District 3 that have fewer than 200,000 residents. The money is intended for critical road repaving and reconstruction projects.
Out of the 16 counties in FDOT s District 3, only three are not eligible for the program because of population size Escambia, Okaloosa and Leon. Of the 13 eligible counties, only Santa Rosa did not apply for SCOP funding this year.

When compared to the tourist-centered beaches to its east and west, Navarre Beach can be considered something of a minimalist destination absent of any colorful tourist traps, shiny zip line towers or crowded souvenir shops, the Santa Rosa County beach has successfully marketed itself as Florida s most relaxing place for the past five years.
But as tourism to the pristine beach continues to grow, county tourism leaders are faced with figuring out how to accommodate the increase in visitors while also maintaining Navarre s simple charm that sets it apart from other Panhandle beaches.
Enter: Santa Rosa s longtime tourism development director, Julie White, and her recently unveiled vision for what Navarre Beach could look like in eight to 10 years. It includes a major face-lift of the existing facilities at the beach, and adds an amphitheater, food trucks, retail space, playgrounds, public art exhibits and more.
