After a sometimes tense, more than an hour-long discussion Thursday night, the Pensacola City Council unanimously approved advertising two key parcels under the West Main Master Plan calling for a parking garage on the site.
The city needs to advertise that it is open to proposals to lease the two properties under the West Main Master plan after Silver Hills Development Inc. walked away from its lease option agreement for the two parcels last month.
Promoters of the West Main Master Plan have said that getting some type of parking garage built on the two parcels, called parcels No. 4 and No. 5, is key to making the rest of the West Main Master Plan financially and logistically feasible.
