The Franklin County commission is putting its support behind two local historic preservation programs.
The commission this month approved letters of support for the Buddy Ward Park Maritime Heritage Museum and the Carrabelle Beach Wayside Park.
The grant applications are due on June 1st and documented community support is needed for the two projects.
The Franklin County Tourist Development Council will develop the spending plan for the maritime heritage museum to feature a series of free-standing photos, interpretive displays along with video kiosks that tell the story of Franklin County’s maritime history.
County staff will spearhead the project for the Carrabelle Beach Wayside Park.
That location just transitioned into being categorized as ‘historic’ and is now eligible for historic preservation funding.
There are 14 concrete picnic pavilions at the site that were constructed in 1970 which are in need of repair.
Preserving the pavilions are critical to maintaining the look and feel of Florida’s historic wayside beach parks.
