Council moves forward with taking ownership of Jefferson

Posted on September 7, 2018

The Perry City Council has approved an agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to assume ownership of a 1.665-mile stretch of Jefferson Street.

The city is now waiting for the county to approve a similar agreement with FDOT — assuming ownership of a .7-mile portion that runs from the city limits to Wright Road. In return, FDOT will take over ownership of Wright Road from the county.
