In late [[2004]], months after [[Hurricane Ivan]] devastated the Pensacola area, city leaders including City Manager [[Tom Bonfield]] and Mayor [[John Fogg]] met with retired Vice Admiral [[Jack Fetterman]] and others to discuss ideas about a possible "maritime park" project for the Trillium site. The [[Community Maritime Park Associates]] (CMPA) was formed and presented a preliminary proposal to the [[Pensacola City Council]], which approved the concept on [[January 18]], [[2005]]. | In late [[2004]], months after [[Hurricane Ivan]] devastated the Pensacola area, city leaders including City Manager [[Tom Bonfield]] and Mayor [[John Fogg]] met with retired Vice Admiral [[Jack Fetterman]] and others to discuss ideas about a possible "maritime park" project for the Trillium site.

Under the plan, the Trillium property will be managed by the non-profit [[CMPA]] organization (for a perfunctory $1/year lease) and will include a multi-use stadium and ballpark for the [[Pensacola Pelicans]], a 50,000 square-foot [[maritime museum]], [[University of West Florida]] classrooms, a conference center, mixed-used commercial developments, and large public green spaces along [[Pensacola Bay]]. All net revenue collected by the Park will be deposited into the [[City of Pensacola]] budget. | Under the plan, the Trillium property will be managed by the non-profit [[CMPA]] organization (for a perfunctory $1/year lease) and will include a multi-use stadium and ballpark for the [[Pensacola Pelicans]], a 50,000 square-foot [[maritime museum]], [[University of West Florida]] classrooms, a conference center, mixed-used commercial developments, and large public green spaces along [[Pensacola Bay]].
