Scripps isn’t coming to PBC anytime soon. The Scripps folks said they are letting the PBC Commission decide, but actually there have been back door communications with Raleigh Durham, Orlando and the Atlanta area. High property taxes, environmental studies, high home prices, traffic,.. isn’t happening and the commission doesn’t want it there, never did. Some of the commissioners have been giving lip service and I know someone very well connected with the PBC commission and they snicker on how Jeb got all excited. They have actually been trying to waste Scripp's time and almost got them to pull the plug. It's just too politically risky to blatantly be against the project. 3 years and no deal yet, come on isn’t happening.
