Franklin County plans to remove abandoned boats from Eastpoint pavilion

            County commissioners have agreed to remove a number of abandoned boats near the Eastpoint pavilion.

Commissioners said there are 3 or 4 boats there that need to be moved because the boats could damage the pavilion or the docks if Franklin County is hit by a strong storm this season.

The board said they will try to contact the owners if they can they can find them, in the hopes the owners will move them, but the boats in question are partially sunk so they can’t be moved quickly if a storm heads our way.

The county will likely just pull the boats to shore and then remove them with a county bucket truck.
