The City of Panama City Beach invites you to attend a public information meeting concerning the Project Development for the Panama City Beach CRA Segment 3 & SR 79, which would provide roadway, stormwater drainage and utility improvements on SR79 (South Arnold Road) between U.S. 98 and SR30 (Front Beach Road) and on SR30 (Front Beach Road) between Cabana Cay Circle and Lullwater Lake in Panama City Beach. The meeting will be 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in an open house format. This meeting is being held for interested persons to learn about the proposed improvements and ask questions.
