Franklin County commissioners on
Tuesday approved the contracts for the county’s four visitor centers.
The county has four visitor’s
centers in St. George Island, Apalachicola, Carrabelle, and soon in Eastpoint.
The centers are funded through
the Tourist Development Council.
The Centers in Apalachicola and
Carrabelle are operated by the chambers of commerce.
The one on St. George Island is
managed by the Maritime Museum.
Each of the groups gets 35
thousand dollars to operate the centers.
The Eastpoint Center is being
renovated because it used to be a Highway Patrol Station.
Once the work is complete, the
Tourist Development Council will move its administrative offices to the
building and try to operate the center itself.
The TDC is currently housed at
the old Apalachicola High School.
There was some discussion about
how far out of the way the Eastpoint visitors’ center is, but the board agreed
to try the location for the next year to see how it works.
