Waiting Warner Official Renews Cable Promise
Warner Amex Cable Company aims to expand faster in Destin but must resolve Fort Walton Beach regulatory delays. Manager Stuart Nazzaro cites unique political dynamics, FCC reception site battles, and obsolete equipment as reasons for rebuilding the system. Plans include 16 basic, 10 Step 2, and at least four pay channels after Fort Walton Beach is settled, about a year later, with a $13 million rebuild approved. Several condominiums have begun their own systems due to delays, while Warner Amex seeks coordination with local organizations.

Harbor Benefits Cited in DWU Pipeline Plan
Destin Water Users directors approved four Net Positive Environmental Benefits to accompany the proposed submerged water main under Old Pass Lagoon. The package, urged by DER, includes grasses, public education on lawn fertilizing, cypress plantings, and a deep pipe install to avoid dredging conflicts. The board also began cost estimates for an absorption bed disposal option and asked NWFWMD to coordinate dye tests for the Gulf outfall study next month.
