Franklin County is working with the St.
George Island Civic Club on a grant to beautify the entrance to St.
George Island.
Last week the county commission
approved the grant application packet that includes the final design,
final estimates of costs to install & maintain, letters of
support, and the application form.
That has now been forwarded to the
Department of Transportation for approval.
The improvements will be for the
state-owned land between the St. George Island Bridge and lighthouse
park.
If the grant is approved, the county
would not have to pay for the improvements, but would have to
maintain them.
Civic club members say they plan a low
maintenance landscape and there will be volunteers for cleaning up
trash so the overall cost to the county should not be too high.
Parks and Recreation Director Fonda
Davis said maintaining the space would likely take up two days a week
and that will be difficult to add to his department's already very
heavy workload.
