Franklin County Commissioners have agreed to pave the parking lot in front of the Buddy Ward Seafood Heritage Museum in Apalachicola.
The project will cost a little under 34 thousand dollars and will be paid for by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.
The Seafood Heritage Museum is located at the “Buddy” Ward Park west of Apalachicola.
The land and the building were bought by the County in 2010 for use as a park, boat landing facility and heritage museum.
The park currently features a concrete boat launch ramp, restrooms, covered picnic tables, grills and a nature observation dock.
The park also features the restored concrete shell of Lombardi’s original oyster plant which houses the maritime heritage museum.
The interior has been restored to resemble its original use an oyster shucking plant, complete with individual shucking “stalls” and a refrigeration room.
Visitors are also able to watch videos on the oyster, shrimping, crabbing and fishing industry.
