On the Move

The Washington County Tourist Development Council has recently received a grant from VISIT FLORIDA. This is a matching grant that has an enabled the Council to design and have placed on I-10 two billboards with information about our great county. Be watching for the billboards – one east and one west of the Chipley exit.

The Council has also been extremely busy developing its new website; it should be up and running around the first of September. The website highlights all the restaurants, hotels, motels, and annual events throughout Washington County. There are links to information about all our boat ramps, hunting and fishing licenses, a calendar of events, and other places of interest in the county. The new website is www.visitwashingtoncountyfl.com. Be sure to check it out. Our goal is to continually improve the information sent to anyone searching for information about our area. If you have any ideas or comments to improve our website, please feel free to email us.

Another investment by the Council has been in a spot on a southeastern map. We will be one of 36 places highlighted on the map. There will be 140,000 maps printed and distributed throughout the United States. The Council will receive 2500 of these maps. Plans are to place some with various businesses around the county, as well as at Welcome Centers in the area.

The TDC meets the fourth Monday of each month at the Washington County Chamber Office. The public is invited to attend.
