PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) – People who live near Highway 231 and 390 will soon have a new place to shop for groceries. ”It’s going to provide some 300 to 350 jobs eventually,” Panama City Mayor Greg Brudnicki said. Construction has started on a new Publix in Panama City. The grocery store will be about 50,000 square feet including a liquor store. “We’re going to be using some of the money that they generate through the one percent merchant fee. Re-invest it back into the road that’s going to be going from Highway 231 over to Highway 390,” Brudnicki said.
