3rd Annual Grouper Grapple Offshore Fishing Tournament

It’s more than a day of entertainment and children’s activities, more than the fresh-caught fish dinner prepared by the staff at The Fish House restaurant, more than the cash awards and trophies. This tournament honors and benefits combat-wounded U.S. veterans. Read more here: http://www.islandsandpaper.com

TOP NEWS

Natural Gas – It’s Now or Never
TECO representatives met with local businesses and residents Friday morning to explain their plans to add a natural gas line along Estero Blvd during the road’s first stage of reconstruction.Hugh Macfarlane, TECO Regional Operations Manager, explained where the new line is expected to run. "The line will extend from an existing line on 3rdStreet to Crescent, then down Crescent to Estero Blvd. Once at Estero Blvd, we’ll take the line south first, then come back and go north to the park and the area of new development. The gas line will be placed between two water lines the Town is placing, a 16” and a 10” line. The 4” gas line will run between them. Due to the narrow right of way in this first section, the line will run under the street, so it’s very important that we know who is interested in a gas connection before construction begins. We need to get permits from the county. Read more here: www.islandsandpaper.com
