Long-Term Vision

The Bay-Walton Sector Plan is a Long-Term Master Plan on 110,500 acres of the company’s land holdings located in Bay County and Walton County. The sector plan was not required by law, but the company volunteered to undergo the process because it saw a unique opportunity to create a long-range vision in collaboration with the community that was an innovative, comprehensive, and proactive approach to land use planning as opposed to the more traditional short term, fragmented, and reactive approach. The framework was finalized after extensive public participation at workshops, open houses, and public hearings from 2013-2015. The plan was approved by Bay County, Walton County, and the State of Florida in 2015 pursuant to Section 163.3245, Florida Statues.

An integral component of the Bay-Walton Sector Plan is the creation of a regionally significant water-shed level environmental framework that contains 53,229 acres or 48 percent of the master plan in a series of well-connected conservation and preservation areas, especially for the protection of West Bay.

After the Bay Walton Sector Plan was approved in 2015, the company was required to prepare Detailed Specific Area Plans (DSAPs) on a minimum of 1,000 acres at a time. DSAPs contain more detailed information about the land use framework of each area.
