The growth in Walton County is moving to the Freeport area, conveniently located near the north side of the beautiful Choctawatchee Bay, just past the Highway 331 Bay Bridge. Many factors are coming together to make this area one of the most exciting growth areas in the State of Florida.

The Black Creek Village development is proposed for a 260 acre parcel on the eastern end of a larger 1,124 acre tract located on the south side of Highway 3280. This tract, along with a number of other tracts in the immediate area, is in the process for review by Walton County for a land use reclassification entitled the North Bay Neighborhood Planning Area. The intent of the North Bay Neighborhood Planning Area is “to promote the orderly and compact growth of the north Walton County area by providing opportunities for residential, mixed use, and community development, proximate to the municipalities or other urbanizing areas of Walton County.” The Black Creek Village conceptual site plan conforms to the proposed criteria of this new land use classification.

Equally important, the City of Freeport and Walton County Regional Utilities are in a cooperative relationship to bring sewer and water service to the Black Creek Area. As a part of that effort, Regional Utilities is currently installing seven miles of water and sewer lines to the Black Creek area east of Highway 331 along Highway 3280. Key officials have forecast that sewer and water service will be available to the area in 18 to 24 months.

Another benefit contributing to the growth in the area is the proposed Bay County International Airport, to be located less than a 15 mile drive from the Black Creek area. This facility will provide quick and convenient air transportation to the community for both vacationers and commuters. The airport is scheduled for completion in 2009.

As a result of these factors, a tremendous pocket of growth has been targeted for the west and middle of the Black Creek area along Highway 3280 and Black Creek Boulevard. Black Creek Village is central to that area of anticipated growth.

Located close to some of Florida's most beautiful bays, rivers and creeks, the Black Creek Village community will be private, secluded and only minutes North from some of The Gulf of Mexicos most famous beaches, Seaside, Watercolor and Rosemary Beach. This will also allow immediate access to first class shopping, restaurants, deep sea-fishing and championship golf that is afforded by Florida's famous Emerald Coast.
