The Florida Department of Transportation, District One, is holding a public information workshop for US 98 Project Development and Environment study from US 27 to east of Airport Road, now Haywood Taylor Boulevard, in Highlands County.  All members of the public are invited to attend.

DATE AND TIME: Tuesday, April 16, 2013, 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. 

PLACE:  Chateau Elan, 150 Midway Drive, Sebring, Florida 33870

FDOT will hold a public workshop to provide information about proposed widening to US 98 from two to four lanes. The workshop is an open house with no formal presentation. Project staff will display plans and answer questions about proposed widening alternatives for US 98. Proposed widening alternatives will require acquisition of right-of-way for road improvements and stormwater management ponds. Existing access to properties along US 98 will change due to the addition of a median, a result of widening the road. The department sent notices to all property owners and interested people located at least 300 feet on either side of US 98 within the project limits. The workshop is developed in compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and related statutes. Public participation is solicited without regard to race, color, national origin, age, sex, religion, disability or family status.
