Franklin County to get reimbursed for Eastpoint property purchase

            Franklin County will be getting a big reimbursement check for property it has purchased in Eastpoint.

The county was expecting to receive a check for 31 thousand dollars to cover the cost of a recent purchase of a lot across the street from the Eastpoint pavilion which will be used for additional parking.

On Tuesday the board learned it will be reimbursed for over 323 thousand dollars for all of the property it has purchased along the Eastpoint waterfront in recent years.

County Commissioner Pinki Jackel recognized assistant county planner Mark Currenton for helping the county get the money.

She commended Mister Currenton on his diligence in obtaining the reimbursement and pointed out that the money might be able to help the county purchase even more waterfront land in Eastpoint east of the pavilion to Highway 98.

The money is not in the bank yet, though.

                                                                                                

It should be in the county coffers by September the 30^th.
