The existing county easement along the south side of Gulf Beach Drive is used for public parking today, with businesses, peddler trucks, and tourists typically parking in a haphazard and unsafe manner. The plan proposes converting these neglected-looking areas into attractive, paver-based parking areas, with appropriate landscaping, improved storm-water run-off, and safe exits unto side streets. The materials will include durable permeable surfaces, not asphalt. The landscaping will be native and low maintenance. The slides above show county easements and include examples of such improvements already done today.

The SGI2025 Plan is a proposal in response to the Ordinance 2018-02 SGI Business District Overlay.
No requests for funding or approvals have been granted for St. George Island's Business District Overlay Plan at this time.
On behalf of the SGI Board of Directors, we thank all the volunteers for their countless hours of research, preparation, measuring of distances, website creation, travel to meet with other communities and govt officials, photos, and endless commitment to SGI and the SGI2025 plan development.
