Many changes have taken place in Navarre during the last decade; the number of households has doubled, the population has soared, and schools are bursting at the seams. New home construction rates are up and two new apartment complexes are set to join the market in 2016. One of those communities, The Sound at Navarre Beach located on U.S. Highway 98, will add more than 300 units to Holley-Navarre Fire Department’s district. The other, The Reserve, will add 148 units to Midway Fire Department’s district. The growth of the area, it seems, is outpacing the infrastructure or any planned improvements.  But traffic patterns and utilities aren’t the only concern. One of the most-depended upon services is fire protection.  The growth of Navarre and Midway are forcing at least one of the departments to take a look at how the needs of the population are increasing and how they can continue to meet them.
