DATE AND TIME: Thursday, November 2, 2017, 5:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m., Public Kickoff Meeting

PLACE: City of Coleman Community Center, 1204 N. Church Street, Coleman, FL 33521

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: Financial Management Number: 435476-1-22-02. Efficient Transportation Decision Making No. 14135.

Project Development & Environment Study, Interstate 75 (I-75) at County Road (C.R.) 514 Interchange from 0.5 Mile West of C.R. 525 Extension Project Development & Environment (PD&E) Study in Sumter County, Florida.

This meeting will be an open house format with representatives from the FDOT available to answer questions. Informational handouts, maps, and graphic displays will be available at the meeting.

The purpose of this project is to improve the existing transportation network and support regional travel demand by providing additional access to I-75 at C.R. 514. The planned Florida Crossroads Industrial Activity Center (FCIAC) will serve as an intermodal freight logistics center and distribution hub, contributing significantly to future travel demand in the region. In addition, residential development is expanding from the north and east toward the project area contributing to increased traffic in the region. It is anticipated that existing transportation network facilities in the project and surrounding area will be unable to support projected future demand. Additional access to I-75 at C.R. 514 is expected to provide relief to the surrounding transportation network and meet projected substantial growth in travel demand anticipated by 2045.
