The City of Opp currently offers property for both retail and industrial development. At this time, there are open spaces within the city’s industrial parks located on the southern bypass to accommodate any size project. Both parks are development ready with most services and infrastructure currently available.
We are perfectly located to provide logistical advantages for various manufacturing, distribution, and construction industries. Situated just twenty miles north of the Florida Panhandle and served by major East/West and North/South corridors, Opp provides an affordable location for any size business seeking a return on their investment.
The planning commission is authorized and empowered to make and adopt a Comprehensive Plan for the physical development of the city, including any areas outside its boundaries which, in the commission’s judgment, bear relation to the planning of the City of Opp. Such plan, with the accompanying maps, plats, charts and descriptive matter, shall show the commission’s recommendations for the development of such territory, including among other things the general location, character, and extent of streets, playgrounds, parks, and other public ways, grounds and open spaces, the general location of public buildings and other public property, and the general location and extent of public utilities and terminals, whether publicly or privately owned or operated, for water, light, sanitation, transportation, communication, power, and other purposes; also the removal, relocation, widening, narrowing, vacating, abandonment, change of use or extension of any of the foregoing ways, grounds, open spaces, buildings, property, utilities, or terminals as well as a zoning plan for the control of the height, area, bulk, location and use of the buildings and premises.
