Franklin County Commission meets Tuesday

Repair work on the St. George Island fishing pier will be a topic of discussion at Tuesday’s county commission meeting.

The pier, which is actually a section of the old St. George Island bridge, was damaged last June during Tropical Storm Debby when it was hit by a barge.

The barge knocked out three sections of roadway, leaving a 165 foot gap that makes it impossible for people to access much of the pier.

The county hired a company called the Gulf Group out of Southport, Florida to do the repairs – Gulf Group was the lowest bidder at just over 566 thousand dollars.

The company has been on-site for few weeks now and will update the county commission on their progress tomorrow.

Also on Tuesday’s agenda is a public hearing on a rezoning in Lanark Village and an update on activities at Weems memorial Hospital.

If you would like to attend Tuesday’s meeting, it begins at 9 AM at the Franklin county Courthouse annex in Apalachicola.
