Garrison Design chosen to re-roof the Franklin County jail

County commissioners agreed this week to work with a company called Garrison Design to put a new roof on the county jail on Highway 65.

Garrison design is located in Tallahassee – they were one of four companies to bid on the job – they also had the lowest bid at about 678 thousand dollars.

The company will now design and install a new roof on the administrative building at the jail as well as the octagonal roof on the jail itself.

The federal government is footing 75 percent of the cost through a hazard mitigation grant received after Tropical Storm Debbie – the county is paying the rest.

Garrison Design is also involved in another project in Franklin County; they are replacing the roof on the Emergency Management office at the Apalachicola airport.

County director of Administrative Services Alan Pierce said the new roofs should give the county long life on both buildings.
