Milton is located North of Pensacola in the Florida Panhandle. Santa Rosa County has been experiencing major growth in the past few years. The Navy Federal hub moving to Pensacola has brought many new residents to the area and continues to do so. This vacant land in Milton is zoned General Industry (M-2) and allows developers to provide for intensive industrial uses such as heavy manufacturing, processing, fabrication, and other activities. Community facilities and trade establishments that provide needed services to industrial development may also be accommodated in this district. (Santa Rosa County Code of Ordinance, n.d.)
