Walton County to Break Ground on New Beach Parking Facilities
WALTON COUNTY, Fla. – March 11 – The Walton County Board of County Commissioners and the Walton County Beach Operations Department invite the public to attend groundbreaking ceremonies for two new municipal parking facilities.
The Grayton Beach Municipal Parking Facility groundbreaking takes place Monday, March 18, at 10 a.m. at 1505 South County Road 283 in Grayton Beach. Groundbreaking for the 393 Beach Municipal Parking Facility will be Wednesday, March 20, at 10 a.m. at 1668 South County Road 393 in Gulf Place.
“Walton County is excited to announce the construction start of yet another municipal parking facility,” said Brian Kellenberger, director of Beach Operations. “After many years of planning, designing and permitting, the Beach Operations Department is breaking ground on the new Grayton Beach Public Parking Facility and the 393 Beach Municipal Parking Facility."
“The facilities will service the Grayton Beach Public Beach access and Ed Walline Regional Beach Access and be part of a future public transportation system to help ease the congestion on the scenic corridors,” Kellenberger said.
The Grayton Beach parking facility will be completed in 11 months according to Kellenberger, who anticipates keeping part of the parking facility available to the public during construction. It will have more than 180 parking spaces, dedicated ADA, electric car, LSV and bicycle parking areas, as well as restrooms, public transportation facilities and connectivity to the multi-use path.
The 393 Beach parking will be completed in 10 months and will have 83 parking spaces with dedicated parking for ADA, LSV, bicycles, electric cars and a 1,300 square foot transit building with restroom facility.
The properties were purchased and will be maintained using Tourist Development Tax, a 5 percent tax collected on short-term rentals in south Walton County.
