County
officials are trying to lure a company that makes hovercrafts to Franklin County .
The county recently
submitted a proposal to Enterprise Florida to be considered as the future site of a hovercraft
factory.
Franklin County’s Director
of Administrative Services, Alan Pierce, said he met recently with the owner of
the company and showed him some of the potential sites for the company to set
up shop.
Mister Pierce said the owner
of the company seemed impressed with the old GreenSteel building at the Carrabelle
airport.
The company is a start-up so
Mister Pierce said it would probably take time for the company to provide a lot
of jobs, but it does have some big contracts including one to build a 42 seat
hovercraft for Russia .
The company plans to make a smaller
more general market version in the future.
County commissioners say
they would be happy to get the company to move here and provide whatever jobs
it can.
