CRA Commissioners to host Downtown Walking Tour

July 02, 2009 8:49 AM

FORT WALTON BEACH, FL - The first of several walking tours in downtown Fort Walton Beach will be on Thursday, July 16 at 5:30 p.m.

This first tour will concentrate on the downtown/Main Street area of the Fort Walton Beach. Anyone wishing to participate in the tour should meet at the municipal parking lot on Ferry Road at 5:25 p.m. The tour will be approximately three-quarters of a mile long.

The objective of this tour is to view the downtown/Main Street portion of the CRA and identify areas that have been improved, areas that need attention, and generate suggestions and ideas for mitigating blight and underdevelopment. Commissioners plan to accomplish this by communicating with residents and business merchants in the area during the tour.

Future tours will be announced as they are scheduled. Reasonable accommodations can be made to facilitate anyone who requires special needs if advance notification is provided. These events are sponsored by the Fort Walton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Board of Commissioners.

For more information, contact Principal Planner Christy Johnson, AICP, at (850) 833-9697.
