The beautiful city of Fairhope in AL is being used as a model for a Florida city, as reported in the Press-Register this week.  Florida’s Gulf Breeze City Council awarded a school beautification contract that will be patterned after the look of the Eastern Shore’s Fairhope AL.  The Pensacola FL based Biggs-Green won the $204,000 contract to replace chain-link fences in front of the Gulf Breeze Elementary school; this new fence will serve as a backdrop to a landscape project which will resemble the lovely, flower adorned atmosphere of Fairhope.
