| Project Description: |
| The Perdido Key area has experienced tremendous growth in the past 10 years. The existing Visitor's Center can no longer adequately support the influx of tourists that visit each year. In additon, the fire station which was originally only a "sub-station" now has a 24/7 paid staff to support the increase in calls due to the tourist influx. |
