Right Idea, Right Time

Right Idea, Right Time tells the gripping true story of how a divided city found common ground to reinvent its future. In the wake of Hurricane Ivan’s devastation, Pensacola, Florida faced economic decline, civic distrust, and a fractured identity. This powerful account chronicles the behind-the-scenes struggle to pass the 2006 Community Maritime Park referendum a grassroots battle that brought together visionaries, skeptics, and everyday citizens to push for progress over paralysis.

A must-read for lovers of political history, urban renewal, and civic activism, *Right Idea, Right Time* is an inspiring testament to what happens when a community chooses hope—and takes control of its destiny.
