The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has approved a $328,000 grant for Taylor County to construct a sidewalk along Old Dixie Highway from Jefferson Street to Southside Park at Plantation Road, although work is not expected to begin until 2019 or 2020.

County Grants Coordinator Melody Cox announced the award last week at the Taylor County Commission’s meeting, adding that FDOT also approved extra funding on top of the $328,000 to install street lights along with the 1.53-mile sidewalk.
