Florida Gov. Rick Scott has announced a nearly $10 billion plan to fund transportation projects for the next year.
The state Department of Transportation would receive $9.9 billion to help get needed infrastructure work done via the governor’s overall $79.3 billion, 2016-2017 state budget proposal, dubbed “Florida First.”
The amount is about $80 million less than one year ago when the governor’s “It’s Your Money Tax Cut Budget” secured more than $10 billion for road work.
Roads and bridges would receive the bulk of funding for projects throughout the state. One-third of the funds would be applied for new highway construction.
The governor said his administration is making critical infrastructure investments in state highways, bridges, seaports, airports, transit and trails. For the full article click here
