May/2012

Dear ,  

 

Beth Headshot

 

Thank you to everyone who attended our After Hours at Boatyard last Thursday! Chef Konrad Jochum and his staff provided amazing food and service to make it an extremely successful event.

 

It is almost the end of another school year and the beach couldn't be more ready for our summer visitors. Our beautiful water, new attractions and renovated roads will make our community a top destination for 2012!

 

Panama City Beach and the business community have been working together to make improvements for spring break and year-round visitors. I had the opportunity to attend a Task Force Meeting, hosted by the TDC last week, where several issues were addressed and solutions were recommended. Many great ideas were brought forth to manage our ever growing spring break atmosphere and to enhance our family visitors experience. Our great city is continuing to make progress and become an amazing place to live and visit. 

 

Have a fantastic week!
