Franklin County looking at costs of repairing pavilions and restrooms at Carrabelle Beach

Franklin County Commissioners are looking at the costs of upgrading and repairing the bathrooms and pavilions at Carrabelle beach.

Parks and Recreation Director Nikki Millender said the restrooms at Carrabelle Beach are in bad shape and are in very dire need of some work.

The roofs are leaking and the paint is falling off.

The pavilions are also falling apart.

Much of the park was built in the 1950’s and age and seawater are taking their toll.

And in recent years Carrabelle beach has become much more popular making the repairs even more necessary.

The county commission has agreed to look at the costs or repairing the bathrooms and pavilions at Carrabelle beach as well as doing some maintenance to the public restrooms at the St. George Island public beach.

Commissioner Pinki Jackel said the county might be able to use some Tourist Development money for the work sine both areas are intended for use by visitors.
