Rural community of Alford benefits from innovative grant system
JACKSON COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) – Through the rebuild from Hurricane Michael, the town of Alford has faced an issue shared among rural communities: a lack of funds. However, a new opportunity is allowing Alford to put about $32 million in grant money to good use. 'In the past, when you received a federal grant or a state grant, you, as a city, had to borrow the money from a bank or lending firm to complete the work and then be reimbursed by the state grant system. That's really good if you're a large county or a large municipality. Our annual budget is about $350,000,' Mayor of Alford George Gay said. Interest payments have made it nearly impossible for small towns to access grant funds. Alford, a town of about 550 residents, was one of the first to take advantage of a new opportunity. 'They fixed it across the state, where now it's a reimbursement system where once the workers complete each phase, they can turn in their work orders. We submit it to the state. The state applies the money to our account. We pay the contractor, and then the money's clear, and then we put it out. You do the paperwork. So instead of the money coming out of our general account or us having to borrow money, the money is given straight from the state, straight to the contractor. That is amazing, that has changed everything,' Gay said. Multi-agency effort assist in arrest of wanted fugitive in Walton County Now, residents are seeing progress on a long-awaited infrastructure revamp. Phase one of a septic-to-sewer project is nearly complete, with underground sewer lines and repaved roads. Florida Street is the first to receive the renovations, making it one of the first in the state to benefit from the completed grant. Phase two will connect the sewer lines to Marianna's sewer system. 'We partnered with the city of Marianna, which is about 9.1 miles away. So now with phase two, we run a line all the way to Marianna. So now all the sewage here will be forced into Marianna. Plus, between here and Marianna, it opens up some avenues for other developments, some other commercial properties that needed some septic sewer changeover,' Gay added. Phase two should be bid out in the next couple of months. The project will take at least another year and a half to complete. Residents will have the option to switch from septic to sewer at no cost to them. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Walton County Overdose Prevention Task Force celebrates Revive Awareness Day
WALTON COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) – In 2024, Governor DeSantis signed a bill that designates June 6 as a day to bring attention to drug overdoses and the tools used to save lives. Local officials, health professionals and overdose survivors gathered at the North Walton Doctors Hospital to celebrate their first Revive Awareness Day. 'There is nothing more heartbreaking than seeing a young person die from a drug overdose because that is 100% preventable,' North Walton Doctors Hospital Chief Executive Dr. Guy Nguyen said. Dr. Nguyen said he has spent most of his career amid the opioid epidemic. He's seen firsthand how naloxone, an opioid antagonist that can reverse overdoses from substances like fentanyl, can save users from certain death. 'Sometimes they jump out of the bed and they want to hit you because you just took away their high,' Dr. Nguyen continued. It worked for Samara Bailey, whose overdose began her long road to recovery. 'The only thing I remember is waking up in an emergency room similar to this, and the nurse telling me, 'honey, you just died,'' overdose survivor Samara Bailey said. Because of her drug use, Bailey found herself in the Okaloosa County Jail, a circumstance law enforcement officials are all too familiar with. 'A lot of people come to jail and they are addicted, and that could very well be one of the reasons that they are in jail to begin with, and a lot of cases it is,' said WCSO Chief of Emergency Services Tracey Vause. But through hard work, dedication and community support, Bailey completed her road to recovery. Bailey, like many other former addicts, are making the best out of their second chance. 'I'm very, very blessed to be able to say that I get to show up as a loving husband, a father and a grandfather now, which I'm very happy about,' overdose survivor Chris Hockman said.

FDOT officials hold ground breaking for DuPont Bridge replacement project, talk about the proposed state budget
BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) – Florida Department of Transportation officials made a visit to Bay County on Friday to discuss the future of transportation in the Panhandle. Transportation officials joined local leaders at the DuPont Bridge to celebrate the groundbreaking of the DuPont Bridge replacement project. It is a $350 million project that will include 4 lanes of traffic while adding new sidewalks, bicycle lanes, multi-use paths, and more. It is set to be completed by mid-2030. The current bridge may not have any major issues, but it's reaching the age when things could go wrong. 'We always do maintenance and preservation before we do any new capacity. We spare no expense with our bridges. They're very important to us, and we have a very robust bridge replacement program. It's that strategic moment in time for the DuPont Bridge where it's time to replace it. And I think it's an added benefit with the Tyndall Air Force Base rebuild that we use the opportunity to add that additional capacity to U.S. 98,' FDOT Secretary Jared Perdue said. Bay Building Industries Association begins 46th annual Parade of Homes Tyndall officials say that capacity is needed. Currently, about 3500 service members travel on and off the base daily. 'The bridge really fits into that nicely as we open up new facilities, open up new missions, welcome more people to the base. That bridge is really just going to help facilitate our growth.' Tyndall Commander Col. Chris Bergtholdt said. State officials also attended the Bay County Chamber of Commerce First Friday meeting, where they discussed the future of FDOT and how they have invested more than $382 million in bridge maintenance projects, like the DuPont project, in the past year. They say a lot of their success is due to the fact that they receive more than 70% of their funding from the state. 'There's a whole lot less restrictions with state money. Federal money comes with a lot of caveats. Anything that runs through the U.S. Treasury usually takes a long time to get moving. So we're very lucky when funds are allocated through the state. The DOT has a plan of work. They can go to work immediately. They have lots of projects on the shelves that are shovel-ready. So when we allocate that money, they can go to work right away,' State Representative Griff Griffitts said. State lawmakers are expected to vote on next year's budget by June 16th. The proposed plan will include nearly $15 billion for FDOT. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
