Brian Kopec’s efforts to clean those hard-to-reach places in Flagler County continues. On the heels of his recent efforts to rehabilitate the county’s skate park, which is actually located in the city limits of Flagler Beach, Kopec, along with Scott Demers of Integrity Pressure Cleaning, headed to the Flagler Beach Pier to the give the area a good scrubbing.
The concrete area in front of the pier entrance along with the large, white letters on the roof of the Flagler Pier were cleaned at no charge to the city of Flagler Beach.
“We are thrilled to be part of these great community projects,” Demers said. “As a resident and business owner here, I’m happy to do it.”
Kopec added: “With local contractors like Integrity Pressure Cleaning, we’ve been able to make a difference in two very popular places for the enjoyment of Flagler County residents. The feedback we have received while doing the work at both the skate park and the pier has been so positive. And the view from atop the pier building was an added bonus.”
