Grayton Beach Trademark: The Board discussed creating the trademark GBNA logo for the village.

Traffic Safety: Several board members cited need for more measures to slow down the DeFuniak Street traffic. The board will approach the County Public Works Road District to see about installing pedestrian crossing markings and rumble pads to slow down traffic. It was suggested that under the Historical Grayton initiative that we get the old Grayton aviation marking reapplied on DeFuniak St. The painted marking on was a visual identification of Grayton Beach for aviators until the early 80's. When the road was repaved, the marking was not repainted.

Sign Clutter: The board discussed the mixture of signs throughout the village. The board compared the situation in Grayton to the efforts by Gulf Trace and Watercolor to develop measures to reduce the clutter of signs. The “Is Grayton for Sale?” presentation, developed by Dee Davis, was originally discussed at the 2008 Annual Meeting.



Scott Provow volunteered to take on the project to see what approaches we should take.

Historical Grayton Beach: Billy Buzzett will continue work under his Historical Grayton Beach Initiative to develop a historical walking tour of the historic sites in the village.

DeFuniak Street Landscaping: The association has been mowing and other landscaping work on the west side of DeFuniak Street from the Grayton Corner Sign to Rivard Realty. In order to add additional landscaping, we will need to have water. Grant Blackwell and Larry Jackson will look into landscaping ideas and getting water service to the area.

  1. Thanks for sharing perfect information regarding board meeting. My sister attended a seminar at one of famous corporate events Chicago last month. She found everything over there to be praiseworthy.
