Franklin County commission approves rezoning of Island View Motel Property

County commissioners this week approved the re-zoning the old Island View motel property East of Carrabelle.
The 7.2 acre parcel was recently acquired by the county and will used as a public park.
 The property was rezoned from commercial to preservation.
The property has been approved for restoration under a coastal restoration program using fines collected after the BP oil spill.
The restoration project will include restoring and improving the two existing piers at the site and building a handicapped accessible boardwalk with decks that connect the piers.

There will also be shoreline access for paddle craft, a central plaza with an informational kiosk, a pervious concrete parking area for visitors, and a turn lane for park access.
