THE DAY THE SUNSHINE LEFT CRESTVIEW
Crestview: An Overview
Located in the Florida panhandle about 40 miles inland from the pristine white beaches of
the Gulf shore, Crestview is the fastest-growing municipality in Okaloosa County. In the
summer months, Crestview, like the surrounding areas, enjoys the economic benefits of a
vibrant tourist trade. During the winter months, when tourists return to their homes, a
sense of normalcy returns to the local residents as their lives and the traffic slow down.
According to the city’s official website, Crestview was chartered by the Florida
Legislature and officially incorporated in 1916. The name was chosen because of its
location on the peak of a long woodland range between two rivers that flow almost
parallel on the east and west side of the city. Crestview became the County Seat in 1917
and remains so today. Crestview is strategically located at the junction of three major
highways—U.S. 90, State Road 85, and Interstate Highway 10—gaining it the
designation as the "Hub City" of northwest Florida (www.cityofcrestview.org).
In the last 20 years, Crestview has undertaken several initiatives aimed at making it a
truly up and coming community in the area. In 1995, with the leadership of city officials,
Crestview formally adopted the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) concept in
order to engage in development and redevelopment within a defined community
redevelopment area, specifically the area that encompassed all of the downtown area.
The CRA Board adopted a Community Redevelopment Plan, which was sanctioned by
the Florida Department of Community Affairs (www.cityofcrestview.org).
In 1997, Crestview applied for a Main Street Program designation by the Secretary of
State, which was approved. In 1998, the City moved the project forward, hiring a full
time Main Street Program Director and assisting in the establishment of the Main Street
Crestview Association, Inc. Membership in the Association consists of business owners,
citizens and other interested parties whose goals include revitalizing the downtown area.
Between 1996 and 2003, the City launched a three-phase development effort to construct
a major streetscape project in the CRA area. All three phases, at a cost of $3.7 million,
were earmarked for the restoratio ...

For instance, when REVIEWING the Trustees the Florida Governor has appointed to WHITE Universities, the MAJORITY are GRADUATES/ALUMNI of the Universities of the Board in which they serve on. For instance:
As of 06/11/17, Florida State University’s Board of Trustees are ALL WHITE and 84% with NO BLACKS/AFRICAN-Americans Serving and the Trustees are GRADUATES/ALUMNI!
As of 06/11/17, University of Florida’s Board of Trustees consist of 77% being GRADUATES/ALUMNI; however, there are NO Blacks/African-Americans on their Board!
As of 06/11/17, let’s look at Florida A&M University since Newsome EXPOSED the PLANS of the United States’ DESPOTISM Government Regime and its LEGAL Counsel Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz’ RACIST/DISCRIMINATORY Practices to OVERTHROW and TAKE CONTROL of Florida A&M University – since the
Florida Governor Rick Scott and his Legal Counsel Baker Donelson have ORCHESTRATED the RESIGNATION of Florida A&M University Board of Directors and REPLACED them with NON-FAMU Graduates/Alumni that as of 06/11/17 consist of 69% NON-FAMU Graduates/Alumni [THROWING in a WHITE Man] and ONLY leaving 31% FAMU Graduates/Alumni – i.e. thus a 13-To-9 RATIO
Information such as this is CRITICAL and CRUCIAL when sharing with FOREIGN Governments to EXPOSE the WHITE Jews/Zionists/Supremacists TACTICS being used in the 21st Century by the UNITED STATES’ Despotism “CORPORATE” Government Regime and HOW its RACIST/DISCRIMINATORY Attacks are MASKED by using HOUSE NIGGEROES – to AVOID DETECTION - to ACCOMPLISH the OBJECT/GOAL of such CONSPIRACIES: The UNLAWFUL/ILLEGAL Overthrow and Seizure of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)!
