SRC officials break ground on visitor information ctr.

Santa Rosa County officials and Navarre Beach Area Chamber of Commerce leaders hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for construction of the new Santa Rosa County Visitor Information Center on Tuesday, February 6 at 2 p.m., at Navarre Park, located at 8543 Navarre Parkway.

When complete, the 4,600- square foot facility, which will be constructed by Southeastern Construction, Inc., will also be the site of the Tourist Development Council and Navarre Beach Area Chamber of Commerce offices.

According to Dorothy Slye, Chairman of the Tourist Development Council and former Chamber president, "Plans for the building have been underway for more than three years, under the direction of Sarah Hernandez and Rus Calhoun of Hernandez-Calhoun Development Inc. Sarah was instrumental in helping Navarre map out the plans for the Navarre Town Center, and those designs were fully employed in the design of our new building. There is no better way to kick off development of the Navarre Town Center than to use our facility as an icon of all of the hard work and planning done by the citizens of our community."
