I don’t think we need to encourage visitors until covid 19 is under control.

…we should encourage visitors because they are the lifeblood of many of our locally owned business and also fund our community, via usage taxes.

At what point does the asserted protection of a few vulnerable individuals justify incredible harm (economic and otherwise) to a large portion of the population? We are not all in this together. If you work for a bank, the government, or a large multi-national corporation you are probably going to be O.K. But lots of small business owners are looking at economic destruction which will result in yet another wealth transfer to America’s privately owned for profit banking system. After the 2008 crisis Federal Reserve Member banks became some of the largest landlords in the nation.

Has there been word from any source about the replacement of the fishing pier at Fort Clinch? 

As a avid fisherman who used the pier numerous times while on vacation in past year miss the availability of the pier to fish from.

Any information on this would be appreciated.
