Enhancements to Existing Amenities & Features

The Civic Club's SGI 2025 Vision includes a focus on existing island facilities and features that badly need updating or repair. Those threatening health and safety are top priorities in this category. Consistent with Franklin County Ordinance 2018-02, we also want these facilities to be welcoming and attractive and reflective of an economically prosperous community.

Recycling Area Safety Improvements

Residents and visitors to St George Island outpace the rest of the county when it comes to recycling cardboard, aluminum, paper and other recyclable materials. Unfortunately,  some people—probably not from here—use the area to dump used toilets, appliances, household trash, and remodeling debris. The signage makes it clear that these objects must be taken across the bridge to the county’s well-prepared waste recycling area. Recently, Sheriff AJ Smith installed security cameras to provide images of license plates, drivers, make and model of vehicles. The Sheriff pledges to strictly enforce the illegal dumping rules. An additional improvement might include fencing and landscaping to improve the appearance in keeping with the island.
