The Florida Department of Transportation (“FDOT”) recently released a virtual project update for its SR 20 Project Development and Environmental (PD&E) Study in Freeport, Florida, which is located in Walton County.
The conceptual plans indicate that the FDOT will be widening SR 20 to four lanes between King Road and CR 3280/Black Creek Boulevard. Approximately 187 parcels of property are planned to be acquired to complete this project along SR 20 which spans the entirety of Walton County from the Okaloosa County Line to the Washington County Line.
