To my fellow Apalachicolians:
I sincerely trust that each of you had a happy holiday season and you are looking forward to beginning a very prosperous new year.
As you well know, two thousand eight was a great year for the city of Apalachicola only because of the tremendous show of support from people like you.
Throughout the year, your city government had a lot to say about the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers role in the reduction of vital freshwater flow down the Apalachicola River system, although we stood alone, we stood firm and challenged the legality of their decision.
We received honors from the National Trust for Historic Preservation for being a distinctive destination and the Florida Trust recognized the Apalachicola Museum of Art for their adaptive use of the Fry-Conter House.
We broke ground at both the Veterans Memorial Plaza the site of the Three Servicemen Statue detail and at the New City Square Community Garden at the corner of 8th Street and Avenue F.
Lastly, we celebrated the reconstruction of Lafayette Park Fishing Pier and witnessed the completion of the Battery Park pier and the commercial dock at Veterans Park.
Working together, we have indeed accomplished a lot for the residents of our city and I’m looking forward to even greater accomplishments in the New Year.
Thank you for allowing me to serve as Mayor of this beautiful city and please feel free to call me anytime you have a question or concern. I appreciate your interest and involvement, and as always, I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
