The county has received a Transportation Enhancement Grant and will be using it to rehabilitate the Bedingfield Inn. It is a long, slow process to use TE grants but it will happen.
Great to hear, Katie! I was a bit worried, but now I’m excited about its future…
I hope they make it ! A grand old building .
I think they’ve been working on it a while, but it will be well worth it. I’m more worried about the fate of the Bedingfield Inn. It seemed to be in increasing disrepair…the architect of the courthouse also designed the Dorminy-Massee house in Fitzgerald, as well as several other landmarks around South Georgia. Lockwood was from Columbus, I believe.
