'''Michelle Reeves MacNeil''' is a Pensacola architect and civic leader. She and her husband, [[J.P. MacNeil]], are principals in the firm [[Architectural Affairs]] and were instrumental in the development of the [[Aragon Court]] neighborhood.

MacNeil is active in the [[Long Hollow]] Neighborhood Association and was chairperson of the [[Front Porch Pensacola]] council before resigning over community liason [[Thelma Manley]]'s alleged misappropriation of funds. MacNeil, who was accused of racism by some African-American members of the council, said in her resignation letter, "I have made every effort to rectify the many internal fiscal and operational problems within the organization, but I have found … resistance and hostility by some of those within the organization."<ref>[http://pnj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070322/NEWS01/703220338/1006 Housing officers resign] - [[Pensacola News Journal]], March 22, 2007</ref>
