New Road, Walton To Bay, 388 extension

[DuneLaker]

Anyone going to the public meeting tonight (Tuesday) at Rosemary Beach? I believe DOT etc. will have an informal display of new route(s) for the extension of 388 which will connect SoWal from around Peach Creek and Hwy 98 to the new airport in western Bay County. Starting time is 5:30 p.m. A similar meeting is planned for Panama City Beach on Thursday as I recall reading in recent news article.

I am going to try and make it. It is an open house style, rather than a regular meeting.

If anyone goes please report back here.

I read that article carefully and it sounded like the meeting was next week.??

When you say, "new routes," do you mean that the proposed extension is being considered for changing the route?

If you simply mean that the "new route" as in the proposed route which has been planned for a while, you can access the maps of the proposed roads on North West Florida Transportation Corridor Authority's website. www.NWFTCA.com

Next Meeting 01/22/09

The next meeting of The Northwest Florida Transportation Corridor Authority will be held on Thursday, January 22, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. CST at the Panama City Commission Chambers, 9 Harrison Avenue, Panama City, FL 32401.

Saw report on NBC Panama City News Channel 7 at 10 p.m. tonight. Maybe they will replay a clip on their 5 - 7 a.m. news tomorrow. Several quotes from SoWallers on news.

So does this mean the State will be buying property from JOE?
