Unfortunately the story is not in the online Daily Herald, but there is a story today regarding a plan to re-do part of Orient Beach, parcel AW34, whatever that is. I assume, without knowing, it's where the majority of the small restaurants are. I'm not sure if it is a done deal or not, but the plan apparently is to have some pre-fab type creole structures, each to house two restaurants. There will be a tourist market, walkway, parking for 80 cars and a proper access road, and praise be, public bathrooms! The plan would require closure of the businesses in June, rehab through the end of September and reopen around the beginning of October 2015.
Overall to me it sounds good, except for the closing for the summer part. Not sure how the restaurants will survive, being closed for 4 months. Maybe individual restaurants would close at different times?
