Before construction began, Gulf Power worked with a team of [[UWF]] archaeologists to excavate the site for historical purposes. The team, led by Dr.Judy Bense, unearthed a wealth of artifacts from a Native American culture (dubbed "[[Deptford]]") that date back to around 150 [[Wikipedia:Common Era|CE]]. The project was awarded a U.S. Department of Interior award for public/private partnership to help preserve historic sites. | Before construction began, Gulf Power worked with a team of [[UWF]] archaeologists to excavate the site for historical purposes.
