From the Florida APA website, “Great Places in Florida is an awards program created to highlight Florida’s Great Places and the communities and people that have created them. Florida is full of amazing places that keep our communities thriving and make this state a wonderful place to live. Great Places stand out with their exceptional character and lasting value. They are memorable, perhaps even famous, but each deeply cared for and valued. Citizens, planners, business leaders and elected officials work hard to create, sustain and improve the places that we love and enjoy in our cities.”
Voting is open at http://bit.ly/gpvote15fb until Monday, October 19th at 5pm. The winner will be announced on October 23rd.
Hard work. History. Common sense. Cooperative folks. Smart local government, working together most of the time. Simple.
Let’s all support this award, Vote, and Vote Often. Been to all of those places, they don’t compare to Fernandina Beach.
I voted for Fernandina. You’ll always be my first love.
