Pensacola, FL (Newsradio 92.3) -- Tacos El Fluffy in Pensacola is temporarily closing after owner Geo Zelaya's mother was informed her work visa was revoked. She's now required to self-deport by this weekend. The woman's visa was reportedly pulled while she was undergoing a routine annual renewal process. She had initially come to the country illegally but got a work permit in 2015 and has renewed it every year since. The restaurant will be closed until at least the end of the month.

Pensacola, FL (Newsradio 92.3) -- Construction on the Hollice T. Williams Park and Long Hollow Stormwater Pond project will begin early next year -- city leaders presented the latest plans at a public meeting last night. The plans include several miles of walking and biking paths, thousands of new trees, ten acres of palnt beds, and multi-purpose recreation fields. The park will also help with flooding issues as stormwater capacity is added to Long Hollow Pond in a future construction phase. It will reconnect the neighborhood that was previously split when I-110 was run through the area. Based on current plans, the park will be the largest in Penscaola when it's complete. The first phase of the project is being funded with an 18.5 million dollar state grant. Newsradio 92.3 broadcasts on a tower that will be demolished as part of this project -- we plan on moving to a nearby tower location next year.
