Chipley, FL – City, FL – The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will host a public information meeting concerning a proposed sidewalk along State Road (S.R.) 30 (U.S. 98) from Pine Street to the Bay County line in Gulf County.  The meeting will be Tuesday, Jan. 27 from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. (EST) at the Gulf County Beaches Fire Station, Evan Williams Community Center, 7912 Alabama Avenue, Port St. Joe.
