Meeting in regular session on June 2, 2015, the Board of County Commissioners adopted a Resolution authorizing Escambia County to enter into an agreement with the State of Florida Economic Development Transportation Fund (EDTF).

The resurfacing project is programmed in FDOT's Fiscal Year 2017. The change in the responsibility from Escambia County to FDOT requires an amendment to the original agreement to formalize the scope of work.
The current project consists of the design and construction of intersection improvements along SR 95 at CR 184, Tree Street and Morris Avenue in Escambia County. The project will provide improvements to the entrances of International Paper Company along CR 184.

Escambia County has agreed by Resolution to accept future maintenance and other attendant costs occurring after completion of the project for the portion of the project on the county's system, no change is proposed to this portion of the agreement. |
