FDIC Refuses Offer To Purchase Grayton Dunes Park
Grayton Beach realtor Van Ness Butler says the FDIC declined Florida’s 6 million offer to buy 120 acres of Grayton Dunes for a park. He warns a land rush by developers may follow as the parcel is auctioned, though lawsuits could delay final decisions.

Rep James Ward announces a bill draft to let local governments form transportation authorities bypassing state legislature.

County authorities could issue bonds and hire contractors, Ward said, with input from other counties.
