We experienced some internet connection issues on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, during the Franklin County Board of County Commission’s regular meeting which affected Forgotten Coast’s live-stream and recording of the meeting. We do not believe the Zoom recording was affected by the connection issues, therefore, we’ve added a link (below) of the Tuesday, March 19, 2024 FCBOCC regular meeting Zoom recording. If you experience any issues with the link, notify Mr. Michael Morón, County Coordinator, at michael@franklincountyflorida.gov or (850) 653-5077.
