G.S. mayor wants long-range goals that won’t rely on tourism dollars - Baldwin County NOW - A Gulf Coast Information Source for South Alabama: "GULF SHORES, Ala. — Committee reports at Gulf Shores City Council meetings could get lengthier and more involved as time goes on.

Mayor Robert Craft wants to see goals set that will involve the different departments and committees of the city, that can be set up to help move the city forward.

'Presently, I am not aware of a collective plan for how we can move the city forward, particularly given the change in the economic conditions that affect our world,' Craft said. 'So I have been talking to our finance committee to figure out a way to make sure that we have a strategy in place that will protect all the small businesses that are hanging on by their fingernails.'"
