Stories of Our Area's Re-Opening Part I: Sam's Fun City's Re-Opening Plans

On Wednesday our office received a request for help from a local Escambia County Business, Sam's Fun City.

In accordance with the Governor's re-opening plan, a theme park needs to provide a local government's approval letter of such a theme-park's re-opening plan-- in order for such a plan to be approved by the state to re-open. Sam's fun city submitted their plan to our office on Wednesday. We forwarded it to county administrator Janice Gilley that same day.

On Friday afternoon, after analysis of Sam Fun City's plan, Administrator Gilley sent the County's authorization to re-open (below) for Sam's Fun City to the relevant state authorities. We wish this local business all the success possible under this plan to help salvage as much business as they can and remain a viable entity going forward.
