Franklin County Commissioners have
agreed to provide 2500 dollars to help out a local youth basketball
program.
In the past the summer basketball
program has included between 30 and 50 children of various ages.
The program has taken local teams to
neighboring towns for summertime basketball tournaments and has also
held tournaments in the county that brought teams from as far away as
Athens, Georgia.
In general the county provides money to
local sports teams only if they earn a spot in a regional, state or
national tournament but the county doesn’t usually provide
operational funding.
Instead the county provides and
maintains the fields and parks for most sports.
There are no county maintained
basketball courts at this time, though the county is working to build
one in Apalachicola.
