Escambia County Commission Chairman and District 4 Commissioner Grover Robinson will host a Ferry Pass town hall meeting Tuesday, May 10 from 6–8 p.m. at the Ferry Pass Middle School cafeteria, located at 8355 Yancey Lane.

• Olive Road construction status

In addition to the scheduled topics, Commissioner Robinson emphasized that the town hall is designed to give residents a direct line of communication with county leadership. He noted that many longstanding issues in Ferry Pass — from drainage and roadway improvements to school zone safety — can only be effectively addressed when citizens share their firsthand experiences. The commissioner encouraged attendees to bring not only concerns but also ideas for strengthening the community.
County staff from several departments are also expected to attend the meeting, providing residents with an opportunity to ask technical questions and receive on-the-spot clarifications about ongoing projects. Representatives from Public Works, Emergency Management, and the Community Redevelopment Agency will be available to help residents understand timelines, funding, and the scope of upcoming improvements in the Ferry Pass area.
Robinson said he hopes the meeting will reinforce a sense of collaboration between the county and the neighborhoods it serves. “Ferry Pass is a diverse and growing part of Escambia County,” he said. “The more we engage with each other, the better equipped we are to make decisions that reflect the priorities of the people who live here.” Residents who cannot attend the meeting in person are encouraged to share their comments by email or phone so their concerns can be included in the discussion.
