Project Overview

This project is a proactive, long-term economic development plan focused on properties within a quarter mile of the US 331 corridor in Walton County roughly from the intersection of US Highway 98 in southern Walton County northward to the City of DeFuniak Springs.

The infrastructure improvements along US 331 are anticipated to create new development opportunities along the corridor. Developing a proactive, long-term plan will help manage new growth resulting from a combination of transportation and infrastructure improvements, and ensure new development along the corridor is consistent with the vision of the County and citizens.
