Bless them. I can only imagine the infrastructure issues they have now and are going to have in the future. They need to support the Walton County Referendum. I know one of the priority projects is the intersection of 331 and State Highway 20. With the county contributing funding, that comes from visitors that are the main cause of the issue, FDOT should be able to get started quickly. November 8th is decision day. #voteforroads #betterroadsforwalton #trafficisontheballot.
