Apalachicola area receives exposure

Anita Grove, executive director of the Apalachicola Bay Chamber of Commerce reported to commissioners at the July 7, city commission meeting that the Apalachicola area has recently received some great exposure from several prominent magazines and newspapers. The publications writing articles about historic Apalachicola included the National Geographic Traveler, the St. Petersburg Times, Southern Living, and Southern Accents.

Gove also reported that other publications have requested information and/or photos on the area concerning the Big Bend Scenic Byway, John Gorrie and the recent Fourth of July celebration.

Grove informed the commission that the planning and zoning board asked her to review and comment on a special events ordinance currently under consideration and that she suggested changes to the sign ordinance under review by planning and zoning to help make the ordinance more users friendly.

She further stated that both the Apalachicola City Square Community Garden and Mike Cates with Cates Electrical Services, Inc., were new members that recently joined the chamber.
