Community Description
Short Description: Cottondale is situated at the intersection of two major federal highways (90 and 231) and at the intersection of two major railroads (Atlanta and St. Andrews Bay Railway and CSX Transportation). Hwy 231 is a direct route from Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and other northeast states to the Panama City beaches. Therefore, many produce stands have become popular along this route. Cottondale has received national news coverage because of the produce stands and has been dubbed "Watermelon Alley."

Cottondale Inquiry:
| Q. | I am trying to find some information on cottonsale. My Mom lives off of JR. drive and i went to get her before hurricane ivan. I live in Orlando and know of the destrution a hurrican can bring. I would like to know if there is much damange and if my mom can return to check out her trailer. I also have a brother who decided to stay but has not contacted any family. Is there any numbers that I can call to check the shelter. Any information would be recieved with much graditude. Thank you | | A. | It is good you went to get your mom before Hurricane Ivan. The 900 residents of Cottondale, did not take the brunt of the hurricane's damage, but was in the line of the storm's destructive front right quadrant. With several tornadoes spawned in the area and 400,000 northwest Floridians without power - if at all possible, you should keep your mom in the Orlando area for now.
The Central Panhandle Chapter of the Red Cross in Panama City should be able to assist you with shelter information on Jackson County at 850.763.6587 or email at spencers@knology.net
