If you are reading Navarre Press, then you care about your community and you are an informed citizen. There may be many reasons you want to know what is happening in your community.

The City of Milton is considering a paid youth internship program this summer to give youth ages 16-20 a taste of government service.
It’s not a new idea, but it is, we believe, a great idea, one we hope Milton and more local governments will adopt.

When Sandpaper Publishing purchased the Crestview News Bulletin and Santa Rosa’s Press Gazette from the previous owners and took over the publications at the beginning of last year, the two papers were in bad shape.
The climb to the top certainly wasn’t easy for Pace’s girls weightlifting team. There was a time where the Patriots were a long way from being a contender in the sport.
