The installation of a new fire suppression system at the Fort Coombs Armory in Apalachicola should be complete early next year.
The Franklin County commission recently signed a construction contract with a company called Cook Brothers to install the new fire suppression system.
Work began July 11th and is expected to be complete by January 30th, 2023.
The installation of a new fire suppression system at the Fort Coombs Armory is necessary if the county wants to use the building as a convention center and destination for private events
Without the system, the building is limited to a capacity of only 50 people, though it will easily hold many more than that.
The project also requires the removal of lead-based paint from the building which will have to be done before the installation of the sprinkler system.
Once the work is complete, The Tourist Development Council will manage the bookings, maintaining the location calendar and handling the promotion of the armory as a destination venue.
