Hello Bay County Chamber,

The Bay County Chamber, in partnership with the Central Panhandle Realtors Association and Bay County Builders Association, has been working together to educate community members on the importance of the upcoming infrastructure surtax renewal. We would like to invite you to join us at one of our upcoming informational sessions. During these sessions, we will provide an overview of what projects have been completed since the surtax was approved by voters in 2016, explain how the surtax ensures everyone contributes to our community's infrastructure, and address any questions or concerns you may have. Your input is invaluable as we work together to make sure our community continues to thrive. Space is limited, please rsvp here.

Bay County Board of County Commissioners and Bay County Veterans Council would like to invite businesses to participate in the Veterans Day Parade, Monday, November 11. Parade starts at 8:00 am from the corner of Frankford and 11street going east to the Bay County Government Center followed by a Wreath Laying Ceremony starting at 10:00 am. The Parade and Ceremony will kick off the week as Proclaimed “Vietnam Veterans Week” by the County Commissioners. For more information contact Bay County Veterans Services @ 850-248-8280.
