The Summation Weekly - February 4, 2026

BEYOND BRICK-AND-MORTAR

By Morgan Cole

Across Pensacola, a new kind of mobile, flexible retail is taking shape designed to meet people where they already are. From vintage trucks and converted trailers to thoughtfully curated pop-up setups, a wave of creative entrepreneurs is redefining how—and where—locals shop.

A growing number of Pensacola makers are embracing the idea of mobile businesses and proving that some of the city’s most exciting shops don’t need a permanent address—just a packed calendar and a loyal following. Blending craftsmanship, storytelling and community connection, these mobile business models offer a more personal alternative to traditional storefronts that’s reshaping the way we think about retail.

From fresh-cut flowers to custom jewelry and books, here are three local businesses on wheels offering their own creative take on what a retail shop can be.

Moon Drop Flower Company

If you’ve wandered through a local market lately and spotted a charming little flower truck drawing a steady crowd, chances are you’ve more than likely spotted Moon Drop Flower Company.

Owned and operated by Kim Marie Casson, the mobile flower business offers fresh blooms and a create-your-own bouquet experience. Operating from a chic vintage truck, Moon Drop brings a unique hands-on floral experience to markets and neighborhood gathering spots across the community.

Casson is no stranger to the area— or to flowers. Originally from New York, she moved to Pensacola more than 20 years ago with her mother and daughter to be closer to family, closing on their home just days before Hurricane Ivan swept through in 2004. The experience helped shape her professional path, ultimately redirecting her from ornamental horticulture into a long career centered on energy efficiency and sustainability in residential construction.

Still, her original passion never faded. After 20 years in the landscape nursery industry, Moon Drop Flower Company represents a return to her roots.

“My first career and education was in ornamental horticulture,” Casson said. “The flower truck is an opportunity for me to get back in touch with my passion for flowers and sharing that with others.”

Casson officially launched her pop-up flower truck during Valentine’s week in 2025, and it quickly became a local favorite.

What truly sets Moon Drop apart—aside from being completely mobile—is its interactive experience. Unlike traditional flower shops, Moon Drop invites customers to slow down and build their own bouquets stem-by-stem. Individual stems range from $2.50 and $5, making the experience accessible whether someone is grabbing a single bloom or creating a full arrangement.

Casson sources flowers directly from California, Ecuador and from local growers as seasonal availability allows.

“I seek out seasonal specific flowers such as ranunculus, anemone, sweet William and tulips in the spring, complementing staple blooms like roses, asters, chrysanthemums and stock,” Casson explained.

The truck itself is as much a conversation starter as the flowers. Casson initially leased a 1994 Suzuki Carry Kei truck from a floral company in Georgia before purchasing a 1995 Daihatsu Hijet. The compact vehicle spent its working life in a Japanese factory and has just 11,000 original miles. Casson is currently customizing it with a fresh paint job and a custom aluminum frame for a canvas canopy, further enhancing its vintage appeal.

Beyond aesthetics, Casson values the emotional exchanges that happen at the truck.

“The joy that the truck and flowers bring to patrons is very uplifting for me,” Casson said. “I get to witness exchanges of kindness and generosity, and am often a confidant of a special story or memory evoked by the flowers.”

Casson regularly participates in community markets such as the East Hill Makers Market, Navy Point Triangle Park Market and more. She also hosts Make Your Own Bouquet pop-ups at local hangouts and breweries, including Gary’s Brewery and Biergarten, Coastal County Brewing and Jitterbug Beverage Company.

On Sunday mornings, Moon Drop can often be found set up outside the Ruby Slipper on Palafox.

Moon Drop is also available for private events—bringing the same hands-on floral experience to weddings, parties and celebrations.

The truck changes locations weekly with regular updates posted on Facebook and Instagram. For updates on where Moon Drop Flower will pop up next, follow Moon Drop Flower Company LLC on Facebook and @moondropflowercompany on Instagram.

Perfect Day Books

Established to foster inclusiveness and community connection, this indie bookstore on wheels offers a friendly, accessible and adventurous way to discover new books, delivering the bookstore experience right to you.

Perfect Day’s pop-up bookstore can be spotted in various locations throughout the Pensacola area— from parks to local small businesses— promoting screen-free time and bringing a pop-up library experience to local events, including parks and small businesses.

Launched by Hannah Burns in July 2025, the mobile bookstore operates out of a renovated truck and has been popping up around the city since late July 2025. Perfect Day’s nomadic book truck offers a curated selection of new and used books, comics, stationery and other unique literary-themed experiences.

Perfect Day Books offers more than just a selection of titles. Visitors can expect a carefully curated mix of items like upcycled clothing, metaphysical items, stationery, tarot cards and goods from other small, queer-owned businesses. Adding

to the pop-up’s immersive atmosphere, Burns offers tarot readings from inside the cab of the truck.

Originally from Panama City, Burns moved to Pensacola to earn her English degree from the University of West Florida. Her academic background and passion for literature helped shape the vision behind Perfect Day Books.

While Pensacola boasts a growing and vibrant writing community, Burns saw a noticeable lack of independent bookstores and felt compelled to help fill that gap.

“I hate censorship," Burns said.

"Besides that, I feel that, I feel that there is such a blossoming and beautiful writing community in this area despite the lack of indie bookstores. I knew I wanted to contribute to and help revive the literary scene in Pensacola. In short, I want to make reading cool again.”

The mobile bookstore’s physical design is as intentional as its inventory. The truck renovation was a total do-it-yourself project, which was completed in just six weeks with the help of family.

“Our aesthetics needed to speak our values just as much as our messaging does: cozy, bold, elevated, alternative and authentic,” Burns explained.

Through its mobile format and carefully crafted aesthetic, Perfect Day offers a welcoming space for readers seeking connection, creativity and a little literary rebellion.

Perfect Day maintains an interactive calendar and active social media presence to share pop-up locations and upcoming event details.

Golden Gypsy Jewelry

This Pensacola-based pop up offers custom-fit, affordable fine jewelry with a personal touch. Owned and operated by Alyssa Tobar, the brand focuses on creating meaningful, long-lasting pieces of jewelry using 14k gold-filled and sterling silver materials.

Originally from Corpus Christi, Texas, Tobar moved to the Pensac-

ola area with her family in 2016. She embarked on her first entrepreneurial journey with a local pop-up clothing boutique catering to mothers and children, but her focus shifted in 2022, when she began incorporating jewelry into the business. Later that same year, she fully transitioned her business to Golden Gypsy Jewelry.

“I fell in love with helping others create pieces that were both memorable and timeless, so I shifted my entire business into jewelry,” Tobar said. Golden Gypsy Jewelry is most known for its permanent jewelry services, though clasps are also available for customers who prefer removable pieces while still enjoying a tailored experience. Tobar’s jewelry designs are both timeless and sentimental, allowing customers to design pieces that commemorate meaningful moments or relationships.

“I did some research and was immediately drawn to the idea of affordable custom-fit jewelry with quality materials,” Tobar explained. “The idea of using birthstones, initials or any other important elements in a piece that you create and don’t have to worry about tarnishing or the fitting was a no-brainer for me. “

Ranging from a full 10-by-10 foot tent powered by portable generators to intimate in-home party arrangements with minimal equipment, Tobar’s mobile jewelry shop can easily be adapted for any type of event or location, allowing her to pop up in various locations, including partnering businesses, throughout the Pensacola area.

Tobar is also a regular vendor at local markets. With a completely mobile setup, She is also able to bring her services on the road for private events, parties and other special occasions. She also maintains a permanent studio space inside Redefyne off of East 9 Mile Road, offering customers the accessibility of having a more permanent location to visit.

CENTER FOR INFORMATION

WARFARE TRAINING USHERS IN NEW COMMANDING OFFICER

The Center for Information Warfare Training welcomed a familiar face back as its new leader Jan. 16.

Capt. John Copeland succeeded Capt. Sarah Sherwood during a change of command ceremony just outside the front doorstep of CIWT headquarters on Naval Air Station Pensacola’s Corry Station. The presiding officer was Rear Adm. Greg Huffman, commander of Naval Education and Training Command.

“It’s a privilege to be among the leaders, the instructors and the phenomenal staff at one of the largest and most complex learning centers in our Navy, responsible for the critical mission of training and developing information warfighters,” Huffman said. “The skills our Sailors learn here are central to how we fight and win and foundational to every single naval operation across our Navy.”

Copeland arrives from Fort Meade, Maryland, where he served as intelligence director for U.S. Fleet Cyber Command, Navy Space Command, Joint Force Headquarters-Cyber (Navy) and 10th Fleet. From 2022 to 2024, he commanded CIWT’s Information Warfare Training Command Virginia Beach schoolhouse.

“I’m so proud to be the CIWT commanding officer and become part of this great organization again,” he said. “My thanks to Capt. Sherwood for handing me a super-focused, highly motivated, and effective team. The best turnover is a high-functioning staff of civilians, Sailors and contractors.”

Copeland’s military career began in 1987 when he enlisted in the Marine Corps. His first duty station was at Corry Station, where he learned Morse code while training as a Radio Battalion Marine. He became a Navy intelligence officer after graduating from University of Missouri-Kansas City in 2002 and earning a commission through Officer Candidate School at Naval Air Station Pensacola.

His operational tours include intelligence officer assignments aboard USS Iwo Jima and USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, as well as deployments to Afghanistan, Lebanon and Germany. He’s also held various leadership positions at Naval Information Forces, U.S. Cyber Command, and Navy and Marine Corps Intelligence Training Center.

“Capt. Copeland comes to CIWT with an impressive slate of operational assignments with the Navy and Marine Corps, expertise at the joint and combatant commander staff level, and a very successful tour commanding IWTC Virginia Beach,” Huffman said. “I am confident he will lead CIWT to accomplish even more incredible things, and I am excited to see how he will shape the next generation of information warfighters.”

As one of the Navy’s largest learning centers, CIWT provides instruction for over 26,000 students every year, delivering information warfare professionals to the fleet and joint services. The command is staffed by nearly 1,200 personnel and instructors who manage resources, develop curriculum and deliver more than 200 state-of-the-art courses for cryptologic, information systems and electronics technicians; intelligence and cyber specialists, and officers in the information warfare community.

Copeland becomes CIWT’s 30th commanding officer.

“As we move forward together, we will continue to retool and refine our information warfare foundry through continuous process improvement from boot camp to combat,” he said. “We will create lethal, resilient Sailors that crush our competition today and will be ready for tomorrow’s challenges.”

Sherwood, who assumed CIWT command in July 2024, led four schoolhouses, two

detachments, and 15 training sites throughout the United States and Japan.

With Navy recruiting at its highest levels since 2002 – a “great problem to have,” Huffman said – CIWT achieved almost 140 additional course convenes across its Information Warfare Training Command Corry Station, Virginia Beach, Monterey and San Diego schoolhouses, sometimes teaching three shifts and reducing the backlog of students awaiting instruction to a five-year low.

Sherwood led a first-of-its-kind training-optimization initiative that identified and corrected 2,800 training gaps, directly improving information warfare community readiness. Her advocacy secured millions in funding for critical training advancements, including a partnership with Pearson Vue that saved the Navy $28 million in development costs and pilot program for an artificial intelligence-powered curriculum developer.

In addition, she oversaw the design of four new defensive cyber operations courses and laid the foundation for maritime cyber warfare officer training pipeline development.

“Capt. Sherwood’s leadership of CIWT has been nothing short of exceptional,” Huffman told the audience. “I cannot overstate enough how hard this team has worked in improving facilities, running networks, managing an enormous amount of manpower and resources, and moving trained warfighters to the fleet. CIWT has strengthened partnerships, improved training and instruction, and ensured our information warfare professionals are ready for the dynamic challenges ahead.”

Sherwood, a 2001 graduate of Northwestern University who also holds a Master of Business Administration in international finance from University of Maryland, deflected the praise.

“The past 18 months here at CIWT has been an amazing experience. I’m honored and humbled by the work this team does day in and day out,” she said. “Together, we overcame challenges with the resilience, determination and professionalism that help make us a world-class training and education organization. There were several times in this tour when I thought we had exhausted all possibilities – only to find another idea on how to increase performance, improve efficiency and maximize process quality. I am convinced this team can overcome any challenge.”

Under her charge, CIWT maintained its 50-year accreditation from the Council on Occupational Education, the longest of any NETC learning center, earning an unprecedented six commendations.

Sherwood said she takes pride in how CIWT strengthened its connection with NAVIFOR, Naval Information Warfare Systems Command, NETC, Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Warfare (OPNAV N2N6) and all partner stakeholders.

“That was essential to achieving CIWT’s objectives,” she added. “Team, your tenacity laid the groundwork for foundational change. Victory belongs to those who embrace real innovation. And this team does just that. ... Make no mistake: The Navy could not do its job without you.”

Sherwood is moving on to a new position at the Pentagon.

Vice Adm. Michael Vernazza, NAVIFOR commander, thanked Sherwood for her leadership and “can-do” approach in guiding CIWT.

“You and your team have an enormous job,” he said. “I’m grateful that you not only kept the trains running on time but also took the initiative to lay new track when and where able, always focused on warfighting and outcomes while pushing us all forward.”

FLORIDA BLUE EXPANDS CANCER SUPPORT FOR MEDICARE ADVANTAGE MEMBERS

As part of its ongoing commitment to members with cancer and their families, Florida Blue, the state's leading health insurer, has launched a new care navigation program. The program guides patients throughout the cancer journey, providing a better experience that connects them to the care and support they need. A pilot study showed a successful 40% reduction in hospital and ER visits for participating patients.

Florida Blue introduced this comprehensive solution for its Medicare Advantage members in collaboration with Evolent, an independent company focused on helping people with complex conditions get the care they need. At no additional cost, patients get a dedicated care navigator and access to easyto-use digital tools, providing them with ongoing support and guidance between doctor's visits. Early results show improved outcomes and lower health care costs, with a high patient and caregivers satisfaction score of 95%.

Care navigation can help patients manage the often overwhelming realities that come with a cancer diagnosis, and it’s particularly valuable in older adults. Cancer rates increase with age, and many older Americans also face social isolation. According to 2022 U.S. Census data, 28% of people 65 and older live alone and do not have children, making it more difficult to navigate cancer care without a built-in support system. In Florida, more than 1.1 million older adults were living alone as of 2023, according to the Florida Department of Health.

Florida Blue and Evolent have worked together since 2021 to improve cancer care for members. Adding care navigation builds on the collaboration by creating a more tailored, higher quality experience. Patients are paired with an Evolent care navigator for personalized guidance including help coordinating appointments, managing symptoms and side effects, planning for emergencies, and connecting to community resources such as support groups.

“We’re committed to supporting our members when they’re well and through challenging times,” said Dr. Thomas Graf, chief medical officer of Florida Blue Medicare.

“This innovative approach helps members and their families better manage their cancer care, with greater confidence and clarity, so they can focus on their health, loved ones, and quality of life.”

The program also uses a digital platform called Careology to facilitate collaboration between members, caregivers, and clinicians. Through Careology, patients can track symptoms, set reminders for appointments and medications, share real-time updates with their care team, and get advice outside of their office visits. By bridging the gap between clinic and home, this platform ensures members receive timely, personalized support and care, even when they're not in a clinical setting. This continuous connection helps navigators identify problems earlier and ensures members receive the care they need, when they need it.

“By giving clinicians real-time insights into a patient's experience, we can help them make better decisions and provide more effective care,” said Dr. Von Nguyen, Evolent's chief medical officer. “This improves patient outcomes and enhances the overall care experience for patients and their families.”

FLORIDA AWARDED $209 MILLION THROUGH FEDERAL RURAL HEALTH TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM

Today, Governor Ron DeSantis announced that Florida has been awarded more than $209 million through the federal Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP). This funding will allow Florida to implement a comprehensive plan to strengthen rural health care by focusing on workforce, innovation, and access.

Florida’s award will support a range of initiatives such as expanding clinical training and rural rotations; providing start-up funding for rural and satellite clinics; and investing in mobile health units, remote patient monitoring, behavioral health telehubs, and advanced telespecialty services. These investments will ensure that rural Floridians have access to essential health services close to home. The Agency for Health Care Administration (Agency) will soon release procurements related to the RHTP throughout the state.

“Our Agency, thanks to the leadership of Governor DeSantis and President Trump, has ample tools in our toolbox that will help in enhancing health care in our rural communities and bolstering the support families need,” said Agency Secretary Shevaun Harris. “This award reflects the voices of our providers, stakeholders, and rural communities who told us what they need most, and we are laser focused on creating lasting impacts in our rural communities by building a stronger workforce, leveraging innovation, and expanding access to care. These investments will deliver sustainable improvements for rural families across Florida.”

“Every family in Florida should have access to high quality care regardless of their

zip code, and no one should have to travel long distances to access the care that they need,” said Justin Senior, CEO, Safety Net Hospital Alliance of Florida. “These funds will improve access and care in rural communities where there is often a shortage of providers. Our hospitals specialize in providing the highest level of care to patients regardless of their ability to pay, and we support rural communities and getting families the care that they need as close to home as possible. Investments like this are a huge help.”

"This investment will make a real difference in our ability to recruit and retain providers in rural Florida,” said Jonathan Chapman, President and CEO, Florida Association of Community Health Centers. “Expanding training opportunities and supporting Community Health Clinics means more patients will have access to consistent, high-quality care."

"Families in rural Florida often face long drives and limited options for care,” said Sarah Catalanotto, Executive Director, Suwannee River Area Health Education Center. “These initiatives, and once-in-a-generation funding opportunity, will bring services closer to home, from behavioral health to chronic disease management, and that means healthier communities and stronger families."

"For rural hospitals, this funding is a lifeline,” said David Walker, CEO, George E. Weems Memorial Hospital. “Telehealth, mobile health units, and care coordination will help us keep patients local, reduce unnecessary transfers, and provide the kind of care our communities deserve."

ESCAMBIA COUNTY DEPLOYS

NEXT GENERATION 9-1-1 CALL

ROUTING SERVICE

Escambia County is excited to announce the successful launch of Next Generation 9-1-1 Core Services, marking a major advancement in how emergency calls are routed, managed, and delivered to first responders throughout the county.

The new call-routing system sets a new standard for public safety communications. It immediately delivers enhanced capabilities, including Location-Based Routing, which intelligently directs 9-1-1 calls to the nearest public safety answering point based on the caller’s precise location.

“Next Generation 9-1-1 modernizes the way we respond to emergencies in Escambia County,” Public Safety Director Eric Gilmore said. “With enhanced call routing and improved location data, we are expanding access to emergency services while strengthening our ability to respond during everyday emergencies and large-scale disasters.”

Next Generation 9-1-1 provides emergency dispatchers and first responders with access to significantly more data, which improves situational awareness and decision-making during emergencies. Enhanced features include realtime caller location information and intelligent call routing designed to reduce call transfers and speed emergency response.

Motorola’s Location-Based Routing has been shown to reduce 9-1-1 call transfers by up to 50 percent, minimizing delays caused by misrouted calls. This capability is especially critical during large-scale incidents and natural disasters, when emergency call volume may rapidly increase. If a public safety access point becomes overwhelmed or inoperable, enhanced call routing allows calls to be quickly rerouted, ensuring uninterrupted access to emergency services.

“Motorola’s call routing technology gives us new ways to better protect the people we serve,” Interim Emergency Communications Chief Mark Carter said. “For example, geofencing allows us to manage large annual events like the Pensacola Beach Blue Angels Air Show more efficiently by deploying alternate call routing during peak times. This ensures emergency calls from thousands of visitors are handled quickly and effectively.”

Escambia County is one of several communities utilizing Next Generation 9-1-1 call-routing service, which serves many other counties in Florida. According to Chief Carter, the transition to the new system was the smoothest technology deployment he has experienced in his many years of service with Escambia County.

PENAIR CREDIT UNION ANNOUNCES 2026 COMMUNEROSITY CHARITIES & CELEBRATES COMMUNITY IMPACT

PenAir Credit Union (PenAir) is proud to announce the eight local nonprofits selected as recipients of the 2026 Communerosity Charities, continuing its tradition of employee-driven philanthropy and community engagement. This year’s charities were nominated and voted on by PenAir employees for their outstanding work and alignment with PenAir’s mission to enhance lives where members live, work, and serve.

Communerosity is a guiding principle and core value at PenAir—an expression of the generosity, community service, and shared purpose that defines the organization’s culture. As a member-owned credit union, PenAir believes that true financial success is closely tied to community wellbeing. Through Communerosity, employees unite each year to support local causes, give back through volunteerism, and strengthen the communities they proudly serve.

The 2026 Communerosity Charities include Child Guardians Inc., The Miracle League of Pensacola, EscaRosa Suicide Prevention Coalition, The Wildlife Sanctuary of Northwest Florida, Operation ReConnect, Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama, Eco Clean Marine, and Saint Francis Service Dogs. Each nonprofit will receive a monetary donation and a commitment from PenAir employees to serve through meaningful volunteer opportunities that advance their missions.

As PenAir looks ahead to supporting this year’s charities, the organization also celebrates the meaningful outcomes created through past grants. One such example comes from 4EVER DEZ, a 2025 recipient.

“The $6,000 Communerosity grant strengthened our ability to empower girls through confidence and prevention educa -

tion,” said Taxie Lambert. “It allowed us to provide dresses, jewelry, and educational materials that help girls feel valued, informed, and confident. This support expanded our reach, elevated our programs, and ensured the girls we serve feel celebrated and empowered. We are deeply grateful for PenAir’s investment in our mission.”

PenAir employees demonstrated remarkable generosity throughout 2025, volunteering over 6,200 hours across 177 organizations and participating in 1,960 activities throughout the community. These efforts supported a wide range of causes, including food pantries, shelters, youth programs, environmental cleanups, and special events across the Gulf Coast. PenAir’s paid volunteer time program ensures staff are able to meaningfully contribute to causes they care about, amplifying the credit union’s impact year after year.

Since the Communerosity Employee Fundraising Program began in 2013, PenAir and its employees have contributed more than $500,000 to support local nonprofits, demonstrating the organization’s long-standing commitment to economic empowerment and community enrichment.

PENSACOLA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ANNOUNCES NEW SEASONAL NONSTOP SERVICE BETWEEN PENSACOLA AND NEW YORK–LAGUARDIA ON AMERICAN AIRLINES

Pensacola International Airport (PNS) is pleased to announce that American Airlines will launch new seasonal nonstop service between Pensacola (PNS) and New York’s LaGuardia Airport (LGA), beginning June 20 and running through September 5, 2026.

The Saturday-only service will provide a convenient nonstop option connecting Northwest Florida with one of the nation’s most important business and leisure markets during the peak summer travel season.

Seasonal Flight Schedule (Saturdays)*:

• LGA → PNS:

Departs 9:10 a.m. | Arrives 11:15 a.m.

PNS → LGA: Departs 11:45 a.m. | Arrives 3:31 p.m.

“We’re excited to welcome this new seasonal nonstop service from American Airlines, which strengthens Pensacola’s connectivity to New York City while also making it easier for travelers to discover everything our region has to offer,” said Matt Coughlin, Executive Director of Pensacola

International Airport. “This route not only supports tourism along the Gulf Coast but also provides our local community with direct access to a major business and cultural hub during the busy summer travel season.”

“American is proud to offer more flights than any other airline from Pensacola International Airport and we’re excited to introduce New York service to the mix,” said Jordan Pack, American’s Director of Domestic Network Planning. “Our customers have told us they love to visit all that Pensacola has to offer and we cannot wait to welcome travelers on this new flight this summer.”

The new PNS–LGA service further reflects American’s continued commitment to Pensacola and the growing demand for nonstop air service to key domestic markets. Travelers from the Northeast will enjoy easy access to Pensacola’s white-sand beaches, vibrant downtown, and family-friendly summer destinations, while Pensacola-area residents gain a seamless connection to New York City.

The Tax Capital Funding Grants program was created to provide grants for new construction, expansions, and renovations that enhance and increase tourism visitation in Santa Rosa County. Application Process All applications must be submitted online by Monday, March 2, 2026. Interested parties are encouraged to act promptly to take advantage of this valuable program. Tourism businesses must sign up online and join the partner portal to apply: getrelaxing.com/ partners/.

The University of West Florida has been awarded a contract by the Florida Department of Health to provide evaluation services for Florida’s Colorectal Cancer Control Program with a four-year, $260,000 agreement.

“This project highlights the power of collaboration between higher education and public health to address critical health challenges,” said Dr. Shelley Diviney, interim dean of the Usha Kundu, MD College of Health. “By improving how screening data are evaluated and used, we can support more consistent practices, informed decision-making, and improved cancer prevention efforts statewide. This project is an example of how the University of West Florida and the Usha Kundu, MD College of Health engage in research that improves the health and well-being of our community and beyond.”

Led by Dr. Angela Hahn, chair and associate professor of clinical practice in the Department of Health Sciences and Administration, the team will review program monitoring data from partner health systems to understand how colorectal cancer screening work is being put into practice and where clinic processes can

be strengthened. Hahn is joined by Dr. Brandy Strahan, professor in the School of Nursing, and Kristin Reichardt, program coordinator.

“Improving cancer screening is not just about doing more; it is about doing what works,” Hahn said. “This evaluation effort will highlight where evidence-based practices are being applied effectively and where clinic workflows can be strengthened, helping more Floridians complete screening and receive prompt follow up when needed.”

The project will strengthen the Florida Department of Health’s ability to target their efforts, support effective health system changes, and track whether screening and timely follow up after abnormal results are improving across participating clinics.

Over the four year period, the University will provide ongoing evaluation deliverables, including comprehensive cancer program evaluation plans, performance measurement plans, analyses and reports of its findings and recommendations, and briefings for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Florida Department of Health, and partner health systems.

CITY OF PENSACOLA SECURES FIRST APPROVAL FOR $76 MILLION PROJECT MAEVE GRANT

The City of Pensacola has secured initial approval for a $76 million grant that would transform the Port of Pensacola and fuel the creation of 2,000 jobs.

On Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2026, the Board of Triumph Gulf Coast gave initial approval to Project Maeve — an investment that will establish shipbuilder Birdon America Inc.’s Southeastern headquarters and a Tier 2 advanced ship manufacturing facility in Pensacola.

The facility would create 2,000 jobs with 1,437 jobs at an average salary of $68,000 annually and 563 jobs at an average salary of $112,000.

“This project will change the trajectory of our city for generations to come,” said Mayor D.C. Reeves, who is in Washington, D.C., this week meeting with federal agencies on the project. “I promised careers for our hardworking taxpayers. Today shows that we are delivering on that promise. We’re focused on building Pensacola’s future and Triumph’s investment helps us do just that.”

When fully approved, this investment will support a 400,000 square-foot shipbuilding facility at the port, strengthen the local economy, and support U.S. military interests through the production of critical modules for ships and submarines.

It will become the largest job creation project in the city’s history and would be one of the largest grants approved by Triumph Gulf Coast, the nonprofit corporation created to manage funds recovered for economic damages from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

Next Steps

The city and Triumph will enter a term sheet negotiation, which will outline the

components of the grant agreement. The third and final step is the grant agreement approval.

The total project cost is $275 million, with additional funding from the company’s own capital investment and other grant funding, including a pending $14 million request to the Florida Department of Commerce.

Triumph funding will be used for construction costs associated with two new shipbuilding facilities at the port. The $105 million construction program includes a Phase 1 panel line and module fabrication warehouse and a Phase 2 assembly bay, together housing advanced ship manufacturing and office space.

The city will retain ownership of the facilities as public infrastructure and will enter into a long-term ground lease with Birdon America Inc. for its use. Established in 1977, Birdon is a globally established maritime engineering and shipbuilding company with over 15 years of proven performance delivering major defense contracts for the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and allied defense forces worldwide.

The new facility will be able to produce complex Navy ship modules for Tier 1 yards, submarine modules, and complete surface vessels up to 400 feet, directly supporting the federal objective of restoring America’s maritime dominance and expanding the U.S. maritime industrial base.

The overall goal is to catalyze a broader maritime and defense cluster, attract suppliers, and leverage partnerships with the University of West Florida’s WAVE Center, Pensacola State College, and the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition to create a sustained talent pipeline and applied research ecosystem.

BOOK FESTIVAL PRESENTS READERS SHOWCASE, FEATURED AUTHORS, CHILDREN’S ACTIVITIES, EXHIBITORS AND PERFORMERS

Whether it‘s reading a children’s book about a parrot or spinning a tale about a Florida Choctaw detective, the 100-plus authors “booked” for Books By the Bay have stories to tell and books to share. Festival goers can meet the authors, enjoy a free day of literary and family friendly activities, watch stage performances and hear authors read from their books, all while enjoying the breathtaking views at Pensacola’s Bayview Park, on March 28.

In a Readers Showcase, authors selected in a competitive application process will read from their newest books. Included are two young adult authors, seven children’s authors, and 12 authors reading from various genres including mystery, satire, rom-com, poetry, creative nonfiction, crime and historical fiction. Selected readers are from Alabama, Georgia, Indiana and Florida. “We have authors joining us from across the United States,” said Tonya Dalhaus, event director. “I’m incredibly proud of the national recognition the festival is receiving. It’s inspiring to see best-selling authors traveling from near and far to be part of this event.”

Pensacola’s award-recognized author, educator, and podcast host Anne Brooks MacDonald will read from “The Blood Inside Me,” a young adult novel. “My reading offers something truly special for festival goers because it blends storytelling with real classroom collaboration. This YA fantasy was written alongside my third-grade students, so audiences will get to experience a story shaped by the imagination, humor, and honesty of young writers. I’ll share not only an excerpt from the novel, but also the behind-the-scenes journey of how the story came to life—how students brainstormed characters, built the world, and learned that their ideas have power,” MacDonald wrote on her application.

James D. Brewer, Davenport, Fl., will read from “Blood at the Whistlestop: Murder on Florida’s Peace River,” a historical mysteryadventure featuring a half-Choctaw railroad detective in the Gilded Age. Fort Lauderdale poet Marc Frazier, a recipient of an Illinois Arts Council Award for poetry, will read from “If It Comes to That.”

Other readers include Jo Taylor, Matt Nagin, Alabama; Ryan Null, Indiana; Kristen Alger, Lora Bunch Carr, Nic Schuck, Melani Udaeta, Pensacola; Kate Hendrickson, Jeannie Zokan, Gulf Breeze; and Tom McAuliffe, Mark Zeid, Fort Walton Beach.

Pensacola International Airport (PNS) is excited to announce that Breeze Airways will expand its nonstop service with the addition of two new destinations: Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and San Antonio, Texas, further strengthening connectivity for leisure, business, and military travelers along the Gulf Coast.

New nonstop service details include:

• Pensacola (PNS) → Fort Lauderdale (FLL)

○ Start Date: May 7

○ Frequency: Thursdays and Sundays

• Pensacola (PNS) → San Antonio (SAT)

○ Start Date: June 10

Frequency: Wednesdays and Saturdays

○

“We are delighted that Breeze continues their growth at Pensacola adding new nonstop

service to our fourth largest market in Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and an all-new destination in San Antonio (SAT),” said Matt Coughlin, Executive Director of Pensacola International Airport. “This new service supports the growth of area business, tourism and military travel as well as giving Pensacola residents two great markets to travel. This will be Breeze’s 6th and 7th nonstop market at PNS including now 3 important intra-Florida markets since they started service in June 2024.”

Since beginning service at Pensacola International Airport in June 2024, Breeze Airways has continued to strategically grow its footprint, offering affordable, convenient nonstop options to key leisure and business destinations.

A multi-organizational research team led by the UWF Archaeology Institute’s assistant director, Nicole Grinnan, has been awarded the 2026 Mark E. Mack Community Engagement award from the Society for Historical Archaeology. This prestigious international award recognizes the Archaeology Institute’s research in Apalachicola, Florida, for exhibiting “outstanding best practices in community collaboration, engagement and outreach in their historical archaeology and heritage preservation work.”

“This project is a perfect example of UWF’s commitment to collaborative research with –and about – our communities,” said Dr. David Earle, dean of the College of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities. “Understanding our unique and shared heritage helps us better understand who we are and where we come from. This award is well deserved, and the University couldn’t be prouder of the team and their efforts.”

Grinnan’s research, entitled “People of the Apalachicola System: Exploring Cultural Heritage as a Vector for Ecosystem Planning, Management and Adaptation," not only emphasized traditional archaeological research, but also actively integrated the local community at each phase of the research process. This included working with local government representatives of the City of Apalachicola, organizations in Apalachicola, and a variety of state and federal land management agencies in Franklin

County. With community workshops, quarterly check-ins and monthly newsletters, the project was shaped to align with the community's values and needs.

With the intention of preserving Florida’s unique coastal heritage, researchers mapped coastlines and forecasted potential coastal transformation within Florida's Apalachicola Bay, aiming to deepen the understanding of how past and present communities value and utilize their landscape against the backdrop of environmental change.

“Our research team’s hope from the beginning was that this work would serve as a starting point – not an endpoint,” Grinnan said. “Recognition from the Society for Historical Archaeology reinforces the idea that, when communities are partners in research, heritage preservation becomes more meaningful and better positioned to flourish. We look forward to returning to Apalachicola to continue working alongside our partners to document and share its incredible stories.”

This research was funded by the NOAA National Estuarine Research Reserve System’s Science Collaborative and was in collaboration with the Florida Public Archaeology Network, the UWF Department of Anthropology, the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve, East Tennessee State University and the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.
