Franklin County hopes to lure German boat company to area

County commissioners hope they can lure a German boat building company into Franklin County.

A company called Nautikpro has expressed an interest in finding some office space in Florida where they can build small boats which are used as tenders for large yachts. The company says it needs about 200 square feet for office space but they need it near an airport and near the water.

Franklin County has hangars at the airport which it would like to rent out so county planner Alan Pierce has contacted the company for more information.

There are a few roadblocks to getting a deal. One is that the company’s information has been sent statewide which means there would be lots of competition for the business.

The other is the language barrier – Mister Pierce said he sent an e-mail to the company which they responded to in German. He is now looking for a translator to make sure the county can converse with Nautikpro.

County commissioners feel the company could create some good jobs and put people to work and told Mister Pierce to keep Nautikpro on the front burner.
