Franklin county rejects TDC contract with Geiger and Associates but approves all others

Franklin county Commissioners on Tuesday approved a number of annual contracts for the Tourist Development Council as well as a number of sustaining grants the TDC provides to various local groups.

The contracts are for companies that provide services to the TDC every year including Bay Media which does marketing production and development and 2K webgroup which manages the TDC’s on-line presence.

The board did reject one annual contract with a company called Geiger and Associates.

That company provided press tours, but county commissioners said they did not see the value in continuing that service at a cost of over 37 thousand dollars a year.

The county also approved the annual contracts for the counties three visitors’ centers in carrabelle, Apalachicola and St. George Island and it approved seven sustaining grants for various organizations.

The sustaining grants help fund local museums including the Camp Godon Johnston Museum and the Carrabelle History Museum and other groups like the Dixie Theater and the county’s two lighthouses.
