Meeting will be offered in multiple platforms
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will hold a public meeting regarding project plans for the Truck and Freight Alternative Site Analysis Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study on Thursday, May 19, 2022, at 5:30 p.m. The purpose of this project is to evaluate and recommend potential truck and freight parking site alternatives along the I-4 corridor that are viable for private and public operator use.
This public meeting is part of a series of meetings occurring for this project. Previous meetings were held in Osceola, Orange, Seminole and Volusia Counties in the spring of 2022 to introduce the project and the proposed site locations being evaluated. The purpose of this round of public meetings is to present the preferred site alternatives for each county and receive community feedback. Each public meeting for this project will include the same information and presentation across all counties.
The Department is offering multiple ways for the community to participate in the meeting. All participants, regardless of which platform they choose, will participate in the same live meeting.
