Franklin County and the City of Apalachicola are now seeking bids to repair Leslie Street

Franklin County and the City of Apalachicola are now seeking bids to repair Leslie Street.

Leslie Street is adjacent to the Franklin County Courthouse and has been closed to traffic since Hurricane Sally hit the area in September, 2020.

The road is blocked with concrete barriers which is not just an eyesore, but also affects access to some businesses and to the courthouse parking lot.

In 2022, Franklin County Commissioners agreed to spend a little over 16 thousand dollars to help the city pay for surveying, design, permitting, and contract administration for Leslie Street repairs.

Last week the county began seeking bids from companies who would like to do the work.

This project consists of repairing approximately .078 miles of Leslie Street.

The project also involves stormwater repair, sidewalk repair, striping and other safety improvements.

The money for the project will come from a 250-thousand-dollar reimbursement the county received from Apalachicola for another road project.
