The Friends of Scenic 30A started the lengthy application for national recognition with the help of the 30A Foundation in December 2019. The Department of Transportation’s Scenic Byway department and Scenic Walton helped.
“(Scenic Walton) provided a lot of the photos to document why our scenic byway is pristine and should be part of this program,” Nation said.
The application was submitted for initial review in March 2020 and final review in May 2020.
“Right as the country was coming to a screeching halt with COVID, the application process was still in full swing,” Nation said. “We just kept the momentum going and got that application in. It was a big question mark whether we would get this because we didn’t know how the impact of COVID and how the government shutting down would affect the process.”
SANTA ROSA BEACH Walton County will be hosting three public meetings this week on its proposed mobility plan, focused on proposals for the southern end of the county.
The meetings are set for 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. Tuesday and 6 p.m. Thursday in the boardroom of the South Walton Courthouse Annex at 31 Coastal Centre Blvd., off U.S. Highway 331 South near U.S. Highway 98.
Both meetings can be accessed digitally via the Zoom teleconferencing tool by people who cannot, or choose not, to attend in person.
The Tuesday meetings, both of which will cover the same information, will address plans for the Walton County Road 30A corridor, which gets jammed with tourists during vacation season.
