The official ceremonial groundbreaking occurred Thursday morning at the new Panama City International Airport Site in WestBay, FL. We have been waiting for this day for a long time, and over 1,000 were in attendance. This marks the beginning of a long road of construction, but the end of an even longer road of waiting. There ceremony was around an hour long and I was able to record the whole event. I’ve got a series of videos below, and I’ll be adding more as I get them made. The first is a 7 minute “summary” video. The ones that follow are broken down to speaker specific. At the end will be the whole event in one video. I will have it in a small media format and a larger media format for you to download. It may take some time to download.

Pictures to come as well.
