You are invited to attend and participate in the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District Seven public hearing for a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study Re-evaluation for proposed improvements to US 92 (SR 600) in Hillsborough County, Florida.

Department representatives will be available during an informal open house portion of the public hearing to answer questions and discuss the project.
