Walton County's need for public beach access, rest areas and transit stops led to the project approval from the BCC. The Driftwood Road Municipal Parking facility will include 67 parking spaces with dedicated ADA, LSV and bicycle parking. Four of the parking spots will also include electric vehicle charging stations.
Officials say the construction of the 1.119-acre lot will take approximately 11 months.
For visitors, the public transit stop will have air-conditioning as well as a restroom facility for convenience.
The Tourist Development Tax, a 5% tax collected on short-term rentals in south Walton County, funds this development.
