Developer offers free land for Walton South County annex

Mary Esther developer Joe Morgan proposes to donate two parcels near Grayton Beach for a Walton County courthouse annex if the county builds a government complex there within five years. He would place a reverter clause to reclaim the land if the project is not built or abandoned, with parcels valued at about 100000 to 125000 dollars each. Walton officials will review the offer at the next commission meeting after prior land buy talks drew resident opposition.
