Franklin County seeks to bring electric service to Abercrombie Boat Ramp

Franklin County wants to bring electric service to the Abercrombie Boat ramp in Apalachicola to help combat vandalism at the site.
The county has agreed to begin negotiations with four landowners adjacent to the boat ramp to get an easement for a power line to the site.
If they can’t reach an agreement, then they may have to run power about 7 tenths of a mile around on a public road.
The county would like to have power at the boat ramp because of an ongoing problem with vandalism.
A solar powered light that was placed there was damaged years ago, and more recently tires were slashed on a number of trucks and trailers.

Their concern is that things could get worse during hunting season when there could be upwards of 80 vehicles at the boat ramp.
