Franklin County agreed this week
to rezone about 7 acres of commercial property east of Carrabelle that once
held a hotel.
Commissioners agreed to rezone
the old El’s court property from commercial to preservation.
The new zoning will allow the
county to move forward on plans to develop the land as a public park.
The county purchased the
property from Capital city Bank last year to provide more water access and to
protect the property from development.
The property includes about 2
and a half acres south of Highway 98 along the water and about 5 acres north of
Highway 98.
The county is seeking funding
now to add some amenities to the property including improved parking as well as
an elevated boardwalk and kayak launches.
