As the region continues to grow, the area surrounding the West State Road (S.R.) 50 Corridor will continue to face traffic and land development challenges. On Wednesday, Sept. 1, the Florida Department of Transportation and its partners at the Lake-Sumter Metropolitan Planning Organization and the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council are exploring potential strategies at an interactive workshop.
The workshop will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Clermont Campus of Lake-Sumter Community College 1250 N. Hancock Road in the Community Room, Building 1.
The agenda is:
Wednesday, September 1
* 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Registration
* 9:30 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. Introductions and Presentation
* 10:45 a.m. to 4 p.m. Interactive Sessions
This study covers an area from US 27 to Florida’s Turnpike in Lake and Orange Counties. The intent of this study is to integrate land use planning with transportation planning in a corridor that will eventually be constrained. Future land use decisions will dictate the viability of the corridor.
