The Barrancas Redevelopment District was adopted by the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners in 2002 pursuant to resolution number R2002-88. This district covers an area of approximately 1.1 square miles and abuts the Warrington and Brownsville Redevelopment Districts to the west and north, respectively.
Situated along the shoreline of Bayou Chico and the Barrancas Avenue corridor, Barrancas residents enjoy the community’s unique nautical charm coupled with ease of access to Downtown Pensacola, and the beaches of Pensacola Beach and Perdido Key. This mixed use community is heavily anchored in the abundance of waterfront residential and commercial real estate which exists throughout the area, and features a variety of natural and historical resources which contribute to the area’s sense of “home.”
Do you own commercial and/or residential property within the district?, If so, property improvement programs may be available. To find out if your property is located within the Barrancas District, contact our office at 850-595-3217.
