Franklin County working on list of 7 projects to submit for state funding

County commissioners have a list of seven projects that would like to present this year to the state legislature for funding but they still have to prioritize the list.

The list includes money for renovating the Research Reserve Building at Scipio creek for use as the county extension office, as well as for dredging the Eastpoint channel and Creekmore Channel in Apalachicola.

The county could also use some money to purchase a permanent home for the Supervisor of Elections Office and to purchase some waterfront land east of Carrabelle.

The wish list also includes money for drainage improvements in a system known as Smokey Hollow on the east side of Carrabelle and for drainage improvements in Apalachicola.

Not all of the projects are likely to be funded, so the commission has to prioritize the projects they find most important before submitting their list to Senator Bill Montford.

The county has till January 31^st to prioritize the projects and said they will do so at their next meeting.
