County Commissioners agreed this
week to continue working with a Carrabelle company to clean local bridges.
The board
voted to continue its contract with Captain Dave’s Lawn Maintenance to clean
litter from the Apalachicola and St. George Island bridges.
He also
cleans along the Carrabelle and Ochlocknee River bridges.
Captain
Dave’s gets about 23 thousand dollars a year in county and TDC funding to do
the work.
Generally
that type of work would be done by state contractors but county commissioners
decided to hire its own contractor because the state was not cleaning the
bridges often enough.
That led to
issues where local bridges were covered with litter during the busy tourist
season which commissioners felt made a bad first impression.
