Franklin county commission meets Tuesday in Apalachicola

Assistance for the local oyster industry will be a big topic of discussion at Tuesday’s county commission meeting.

Jim Estes from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation commission will be at the meeting to discuss money recently approved by the federal government to help the local oyster industry.

Commissioners are hoping to get more detailed information about how the money will be distributed and how it can be used.

At the last county commission meeting commissioners expressed frustration at not having the information they need about the various programs providing assistance to the oyster industry.

The county will also open bids on Tuesday for two road projects, including the resurfacing of Oak Street in Lanark Village and Bayshore Drive in Eastpoint.

Commissioners will also meet with their labor attorney to continue discussions about compensation for county employees.

The county commission meeting will begin at 9 tomorrow morning at the Franklin county Courthouse Annex in Apalachicola.
