Customary Use Meeting at Coastal Branch Library

The Walton Democratic Women’s Club will host a meeting at the Coastal Branch Library on May 21, 2018 from 6-8 pm to discuss Walton County’s response to HB 631, the new law passed by the Florida Legislature and signed by Governor Rick Scott, which will end Walton County's Customary Use Ordinance on July 1, 2018. 

The Customary Use of the public to access the beaches of South Walton was recognized by the Board of County Commissioners when it passed the Customary Use Ordinance in 2016. Larry Jones, our County Administrator, who actually wrote his master’s thesis on Customary Use, and Sidney Noyes, our County Attorney, who is quite knowledgeable about this subject matter, will be available to instruct us and answer questions at this meeting.

The community is invited to come out for information and updates.
