Franklin County awarded grant to replace lights at Vrooman Park

Franklin County has been awarded a grant to install energy efficient lighting at Vrooman park in Eastpoint.

The board had applied for money to replace the lighting at two local parks but found out that they had received enough money for only one park.

Under the grant the LED lights will have to be installed by August 31^st which doesn’t give the county much time to get the work done.

Commissioners agreed Tuesday to forgo the county’s usual advertising process and instead contact all local licensed electricians for bids.

They hope to open bids and award the project at their meeting on July the 16^th.

Commissioners said if there was any money left over after the work at Vrooman Park is complete that will try to put new lights on at least one field at DW Wilson park in Apalachicola.
