Walton County is the fifth-fastest growing county in the country.
Among our biggest wins: advancing the $6M pedestrian underpass at Inlet Beach.
Scenic Walton focuses our work on actions like landscaping the medians along our commercial corridors; championing the undergrounding of overhead utilities and minimizing the visual impact of cellular infrastructure; promoting the expansion of pedestrian and cycling facilities; removing litter from public spaces; advocating for context-sensitive development; and challenging the uncontrolled spread of billboards and signage. These steps will enhance our environmental and economic progress, including tourism while promoting health and quality of life.
Walton County is one of the fastest-growing areas in the country, with residential and mixed-use development fueling the growth. Scenic Walton is focused on preserving our natural beauty amid this growth.

Scenic Walton relies on the support of concerned citizens like you. Every dollar helps sustain our efforts to keep Walton scenic.
