It was renamed Contrada Hills in early [[2008]] and designated a "Community Development District" by the [[Santa Rosa County Commission]].<ref name="renamed">"Pace's Jubilee housing project renamed."

"We just wanted the negative connotations of the history to be gone."<ref name===Golf club==="renamed"/> The slated Jubilee Contrada Hills golf club is a private 18-hole, 7,400-yard course designed by local PGA champion [[Jerry Pate]]. A full-featured clubhouse is also planned.
