A new development project could bring up to 6 businesses under one roof on West Nine Mile

A new commercial strip mall called 9 Mile Plaza could be developed on West Nine Mile Road following a project proposal submitted to Escambia County’s Development Review Committee in late July.

Developers want to create a single-story, 10,400-square-foot building that will hold multiple commercial businesses, along with 38 parking spaces and a single access road leading onto West Nine Mile Road.

The proposed site of the project is 2.31 acres, according to its DRC application, however only 1.51 acres will be disturbed. Their current plan is to create six spaces within the building, according to the project’s site plan filed with Escambia County.

The proposed location of the project is partially developed with two vacant residences and a metal building on site, which will be removed if the proposal is approved, according to its DRC application filed with Escambia County.

West Nine Mile Road has multiple development projects underway, including an incoming Jeremiah’s Italian Ice across the street from the 9 Mile Plaza project’s proposed site.
