But since then the local and national economic background has shifted, putting the effort on somewhat shakier ground, organizers said.

Concern about encroachment by development and other municipalities — highlighted by Orange Beach's stated plans to build a bridge across Wolf Bay to the secluded 108-year-old waterfront community — led to solid support for a referendum.

Voters will decide Tuesday whether to create Baldwin County's 14th municipality. Polls will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Perdido Beach Volunteer Fire Department on Escambia Avenue."
