Jekyll Island's governing authority has hired Southwestern Wilderness of Edison, Ga., to build Great Dunes Park.
The park will replace Jekyll's cracked concrete boardwalk with a new 10-foot-wide tabby-style one that curves around dunes and connects to the rest of Jekyll's trail system.
Also in the project blueprints … a convention center, beachside shopping, a pedestrian district and new hotels.
The authority considers the beach village project a key ingredient in attracting visitors back to the aging state park.
