Perdido Beach votes itself into township - al.com

Perdido Beach votes itself into township - al.com: "Perdido Beach will become Baldwin County's 14th municipality after an incorporation referendum passed 192-113, based on final but unofficial results Tuesday.

The turnout represented about 63 percent of the nearly 485 residents of the small bayfront community who had registered to vote by the April 10 deadline.

The effort to incorporate was driven largely by the belief that town government would be the best way to protect the nearly 108-year-old village from encroachment by nearby municipalities and beachfront development."
