Franklin
County this month approved the final site plan for the renovation the
old Island View motel property east of Carrabelle.
The 7.2 acre parcel
was acquired by Franklin County and will be used as a public park.
Over a million
dollars will be spent restoring the property for public use.
The restoration
project will include restoring and improving the two existing piers
at the site and building a handicapped accessible boardwalk with
decks that connect the piers.
There will also be
shoreline access for paddle craft, a central plaza with an
informational kiosk,and a pervious concrete parking area for
visitors.
A plan to create a
turn lane off of Highway 98 for park access has been removed from the
project though there will be a deceleration lane to get vehicles out
of the flow of traffic.
Bids for the project
should be going out in the next few months.
