Commission honors Lindy’s Chicken of Crawfordville with proclamation as longtime business closes
Summary
The Wakulla County commission adopted a proclamation recognizing Lindy’s Chicken of Crawfordville for nearly three decades of service after owners announced the restaurant’s closure; citizens praised the owners’ community support during the meeting.
The Wakulla County Board of County Commissioners adopted a proclamation on June 2 honoring Lindy’s Chicken of Crawfordville for nearly 29 years in business and its contributions to the local community.
A commissioner moved the proclamation recognizing Lindy’s as a longtime local institution that opened in 1996. The proclamation text read on the record credits Lindy’s with local job creation, steady service and community involvement and states the closure “marks the end of an era.” The board voted unanimously to adopt the proclamation.
Citizens who spoke after the motion praised the restaurant owners and staff for outreach and community support. One resident said owners Claire and Jerome (last name not stated on the record) had “always been so welcoming” and allowed outreach groups to use their property. The board then invited Lindy’s owners to come forward to sign the proclamation.
The item was a ceremonial recognition; no policy or budget action accompanied the proclamation.
