Island View Park – Ribbon Cutting Celebration

On August 9th, a ribbon cutting ceremony was held at the recently completed Island View Park Project in Franklin County, FL. On hand were local dignitaries, residents, and the many project stakeholders to celebrate the project’s completion. The Island View Park is a 7.13-acre tract located approximately one mile east of the City of Carrabelle. The park includes 884 linear feet of frontage along St. George Sound. The park enhances the public’s access to the surrounding natural resources and increases recreational opportunities. The park’s infrastructure includes an accessible boardwalk with decks that connect the two existing piers, restored and improved existing piers, shoreline access for paddle craft, a central plaza with an informational kiosk, a pervious concrete parking area for visitors, and a turn lane for park access.

ReliantSouth was honored to serve as the Construction Manager for the Trust for Public Land & the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The Island View Park is the first of four (4) park projects ReliantSouth will construct which are being funded through the NRDA Phase V – Florida Coastal Access Project program.

ReliantSouth Team Builds & Donates “Little Libraries”

ReliantSouth recently partnered with the Bay County Public Library Foundation and Bay County Public Library staff members in the development of a “little libraries” program. The focus of the program is to encourage reading and literacy in our community. The program involves installing small “library” structures throughout the area to facilitate free sharing of books, available anytime to the general public.

ReliantSouth donated the libraries which were constructed during an internal team-building event. Once built, the libraries were installed by staff members throughout Bay County. ReliantSouth thoroughly enjoyed constructing this “little” project and hopes that it has a “big” impact on enhancing reading and literacy in our community.
