The
Franklin County Tourist Development Council has a new member.
The Franklin County commission, this week,
unanimously approved local attorney Torbin Madson to serve on the TDC.
Torbin was one of 8 people to apply for the
position.
He is a parade organizer for the annual Mardi Gras
parade in Apalachicola and is a founder of the Salty Barkers
Mardi Gras Krewe.
The TDC is a 9-member board created in 2004 to
help increase tourism to Franklin County – it's funded through a 3 percent bed
tax on hotel rooms and rental homes.
The group helps fund a number of tourist-related
projects in the county, including beach access points, parks, and even museums
and local events.
The board is made up of representatives of the two
cities as well as the county commission and people in the lodging and tourism
industry.
