Madeira Beach Starts Branding
Banners have gone up at the John's Pass Bridge and other areas in Madeira Beach will be branded with the Madeira Beach logo.
If you've gone over the John's Pass Bridge lately, you've probably noticed new flags on the Madeira Beach side.
Madeira Beach has put up banners on the John's Pass Bridge in an effort to build the brand of Madeira Beach, according to an article from the Beach Beacon.
Madeira Beach Commissioner Terry Lister has pushed for the branding because of perceived confusion between the city limits of the different beaches.
