County commission to consider rules for golf cart use in Eastpoint

County commissioners will hold a public hearing in the near future to discuss rules for Golf carts in Eastpoint.

Golf carts are already a popular form of transportation in Eastpoint, but for the most part they are operating illegally because the county doesn’t have any rules in place governing their use.

That may soon change.

The county has looked at rules for golf cart operation that are already in place in Apalachicola and St. George Island and now plan to create similar rules for Eastpoint.

County Administrative director Alan Pierce said he believes that county will be able to allow golf carts on county roads north of Highway 98 but golf carts will not be allowed to drive on or cross Highway 98.

The county commission has agreed to set a public hearing on the issue but has not yet set a time and date.
