Gulf State Park resort compromise advances - al.com: "MONTGOMERY — Lawmakers agreed on Tuesday to a compromise that brings a planned beachfront resort in Gulf Shores one step closer to approval.

The bill, passed by the House Government Operations Committee, would allow one parcel of state land to be used for the luxury hotel, but it would place restrictions on the development of other state beach land.

Supporters said the bill strikes a balance between protecting state land and generating revenue for state coffers."
