The Alys Beach Project

Gary Young is currently involved in a project aimed at developing the Alys Beach area in Panama City, Florida. With a newly constructed town amphitheater and other amenities, Gary Young agrees that Alys Beach is the “birthplace of New Urbanism,” a movement that emphasizes community and whose hallmark is the placement of amenities in and around homes to promote walking, talking, and a sense of connectedness, according to the Alys Beach website. This segment of the Emerald Coast is said to be home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Photographs of the area boast luxury beach living, sugar-fine sands and crystal-clear waters.
