| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
| The improvements of U S 319/SR 61 will broaden transportation access between the metropolitan job center at Tallahassee and the main business center at Wakulla County. Access improvements will also be realized by neighboring beach areas connecting regional recreation destinations to larger continually growing populated areas in North Florida and South Georgia. Transportation improvements will increase commerce capabilities at a regional seafood production area while increasing access to a growing vacation destination. The entire big bend area on North Florida will benefit from improved and increased traffic flow on U. S. 319. |
