The Florida Department of Environmental Protection is seeking community support for their Trail Town program and related efforts to pave the US-90 Trail Corridor that runs through Mil-ton—a designated “trail town.” Without secured funding, nearly two-thirds of the corridor remains unpaved in Santa Rosa County.
After receiving no state funding last year through the legislature, the City of Milton is well on its way to solidifying its requests for the next session.
Tim Parson, the vice president of Tallahassee-based Liberty Partners, met with the council during their workshop meeting last week to go over the preliminary list. That list included:
