Oil Spill Incident - May 4th, 2010

Gulf County and the Gulf County Tourist Development Council are continuing to closely monitor the off-shore oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.  We are meeting throughout each day with local, state and federal officials and will continue to advise our tourism industry partners, local businesses and area visitors on any new developments. While we are taking every precaution possible to minimize any potential impact, at this point, there are no projections that would indicate such.
