About
HELP #SAVETHEBREEZE….
The ongoing pandemic, Hurricane Sally and the closure of the 3 mile bridge, caused by rogue barges has put unprecedented pressure on Gulf Breeze businesses. Typically, the City’s commercial districts enjoy 55,000 passing cars a day, recently reduced to several thousand. This decline in traffic translates to a drastic reduction in sales in a time of year that is typically fruitful.
Help #savethebreeze by supporting our businesses and shopping local!
