Franklin County commission approve extension of bridge cleaning contract

            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.
