Beverly Hewitt named to TDC

County commissioners this week named a new member to the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.

The board agreed to put Beverly Hewitt on the council as a representative for the Apalachicola Bay chamber of Commerce.

She replaces Mark Friedman.   

The Franklin county Tourist development Council helps decide how best to spend the funds raised through the county’s bed tax.

The tourist development tax – which was approved by local voters in 2004 – is levied on every home and hotel room rented in the county.

The money is generally used for advertising the area and for the maintenance of tourist related facilities in the county.
