− | The project was | + | The '''Vince Whibbs, Sr. Community Maritime Park''' is a project planned to occupy the 30-acre [[Trillium]] property on Pensacola's waterfront. It was developed by the [[Community Maritime Park Associates]], initially comprised of Vice Admiral [[Jack Fetterman]], [[UWF]] President [[John Cavanaugh]] and [[Pensacola Pelicans]] owner [[Quint Studer]]. After the death of Admiral Fetterman, the third principal position was filled by Mayor Emeritus [[Vince Whibbs]]. after whose death the position was again filled by Judge [[Lacey Collier]]. The plan, refined in public focus groups by urban planner [[Ray Gindroz]], includes a [[maritime museum]] and research center, a "multi-use" stadium for the Pelicans, a conference center, university classrooms, a large public lawn and concert shell, mixed-use commercial space and other amenities. On January 18, 2005, the [[Pensacola City Council]] approved the plan by an 8-1 vote. Shortly thereafter, the political action group [[Save Our City]], led by [[Charles Fairchild]] and dissenting city councilman [[Marty Donovan]], started a petition to force a city referendum on the issue, hoping to overturn the council's decision. After a long and divisive campaign by both sides, the plan was approved by the voters of Pensacola on September 5, 2006. |
