👍The old and dilapidated signs in front of the Destin-Fort Walton Beach Convention Center and the Destin-Fort Walton Beach Rigdon Center (formerly the NWF Fairgrounds) were removed today to make way for new digital signs that are expected to be installed at both locations in the coming weeks. Revenue from visiting tourists paid 100% of the costs for the new signs and the demolition of the old ones.
