Federal bills may curb barrier island development funding
The Northwest Florida Coast Planning and Management Committee heard that pending 1984 legislature bills could halt state funding for development on barrier islands such as Moreno Point and Four Mile Village. Officials noted federal rules already ban federal flood insurance and most federal funds for such lands, while a FEMA evacuation study aims to map threat levels and shelter plans across five Panhandle counties and neighboring states.

Destin Charter Backed by Attorney on Legal Soundness
Fort Walton Beach attorney C LeDon Anchors says the Destin charter draft is legally sound and likely to withstand challenges from landowners, as questions focus on including land east of Airport Road and its tax status. Local objections from Barney Henderson and Mattie M Kelly persist, potentially prompting court action if changes aren’t made. Rep James Ward plans a local bill to place the referendum on the November ballot despite a legal notice error noted in The LOG.
