It was a gorgeous morning down at The Launch at ICW as Governor Kay Ivey, the Baldwin County Commission, and many other local and state officials cut the ribbon, officially opening the beautiful boat launch located on the Intracoastal Waterway!
We would like to give a shout out to City of Orange Beach Fire Department, Orange Beach Police Department, Baldwin County Sheriffs Office, and Alabama Law Enforcement Agency for showing up in support today!
The 47-acre Orange Beach property has over 1,700 feet of water frontage, six boat launches, lighted boat and car parking, six covered pavilions with picnic table seating, a grand pavilion, and over a mile of concrete sidewalks and boardwalks throughout the pavilion and launch areas.
Governor Ivey committed the State of Alabama to providing $10.1 million in state GOMESA funding to help bring this long-awaited project to fruition while the Baldwin County Commission committed an additional $8.1 million dollars in County GOMESA funding, and an additional $750,000 of local County funds to support the project.
