Project Description
This project will (1) partially rebuild the Gulf State Park Lodge, which was destroyed in 2004 by Hurricane Ivan, and (2) develop a host of public access amenities, which will connect the lodge to other aspects of the park, create and enhance public use and enjoyment of the beach areas at Gulf State Park for visitors not staying at the lodge, and increase access to the non-beach areas within the park to all visitors. Some design and initial environmental compliance activities were performed under the earlier established Gulf State Park Enhancement Project [Portal ID #33].
