St. George Island will see new restroom facilities this fall thanks to funding from the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.

The project was given the green light to go out for bid this week after plans for the new facility

were received and approved.

The restroom project will feature 10 restroom stalls, an ADA-compliant walkway and outdoor shower facilities.

The new facilities will be located adjacent to existing bathrooms which will stay in operation during the construction of the new facilities.

The project will help meet the growing public restroom demand on St. George Island.

The existing restrooms are now 20-years old and need to be expanded to accommodate a growing number of visitors to the area.

The St. George Island restroom project follows on the heels of other beach park and tourism-related

infrastructure projects funded through bed tax funds administered by the TDC including restroom facility improvements at Carrabelle Beach, renovation of the Fort Coombs Armory in Apalachicola and the Olan Buddy Ward Seafood Landing Park in Apalachicola.
