LYNN HAVEN The mayoral seat that has been left vacant for more than 100 days after the former mayor Margo Anderson was indicted along with the former city manager, city attorney, and community services director on dozens of fraud charges involving the mishandling of federal emergency dollars in the early hours following Hurricane Michael, is now being vied for by three new faces to the Lynn Haven Commission, each promising to restore the integrity of what it means to hold public office. There definitely were some major problems, but much of that has been weeded out and we re looking toward a bright future for Lynn Haven, said mayoral candidate Joe Brown, who has more than 20 years in finance management in city and county government.
LYNN HAVEN Lynn Haven is set to open its largest park in March after almost a year of construction.
Called the Lynn Haven Bayou Park & Preserve, the 98-acre property is located along County 2321 and will feature picnic pavilions, waterfront boardwalks, a kayak launch, walking trail, Frisbee golf course, playground and restrooms, said Ty Farris, director of parks and grounds for Lynn Haven.
Farris said that while the entrance of the park was located along County 2321, the city didn t want to release its exact location yet. Especially during the COVID era that we re currently living in, I think the outdoors are the perfect place for people to be able to get out and enjoy (themselves) without having to worry much, Farris said.
