A decades-old proposal for a land swap between Wakulla County and the U.S. Forest Service is off the table, according to County Administrator David Edwards.
In a recent interview, Edwards said that Assistant County Administrator Somer Pell was sending a letter to the forest service that would say that Wakulla County is “no longer interested at this time.”

County Administrator David Edwards announced his intention to retire within the next 3 to 5 years.
Edwards, who has served as county administrator since 2013, said he feels like he and his staff have “accomplished a lot” during his tenure.
