Destin Dockage Plan Sparks Contested Harbor Future
Destin seeks to convert a 52 acre west end land parcel into a municipal dockage area for 50 to 70 boats to protect charter fishing from condo expansion. Capt William Davis proposes county approval, dock construction, and long term slips with no fuel or retail, promising around 100000 dollars yearly. Officials debated ownership by Eglin AFB and transfer to National Seashore yet to be resolved.
