Okaloosa County Commissioner Nathan Boyles (District 3) will host a Town Hall meeting on Tuesday, April 2, 2024, at 6 p.m. at the Baker School gymnasium to address concerns and gather feedback from residents regarding the ongoing North Okaloosa County Planning Study.

  • The meeting aims to provide a platform for residents to voice their concerns, clarify any misinformation about the study, and discuss how the County and residents of north Okaloosa County can work together to preserve agricultural and rural traditions while responsibly addressing future growth.

“This is an important issue for north Okaloosa residents and I look forward to listening to their concerns and gathering feedback,” said Commissioner Boyles.

The North Okaloosa County Planning Study seeks to balance the preservation of the area’s rural character with the need to plan for potential future development, according to the county. The study’s findings and recommendations will help guide the County’s decision-making process in the coming years.
