The same information and displays will be shown at each Community Open House.

Please stop by anytime during the Community Open House to review information and provide input. FDOT representatives will be available to answer questions, one on one, at any time during the Community Open House. Your input will be shared with the I-75 Relief Task Force for their consideration.
