Board of County Commissioners - Nov 10, 2026
A progress report on the county's bonded road and capital projects — a chance to see where your transportation dollars are going.
Board of County Commissioners - Oct 13, 2026
The CR 220 bridge project finished three months early with zero injuries in 517 days; the $65M public safety bond is 43% spent with fire stations advancing countywide. Radar Road traffic shift begins December 1.
Planning Commission Meeting - Oct 6, 2026
A 76-home project off Allie Murray Road won a favorable recommendation; the developer will pave roughly half the dirt road to Old Jennings, splitting neighbors who either want the paving or want to keep the rural feel.
Board of County Commissioners - Sep 8, 2026
CR218 is running late (early November) due to weather and utility conflicts; the CR220 bridge is targeted to open by mid-October; 222 county roads resurfaced since 2021.
Board of County Commissioners Workshop - Aug 20, 2026
Roughly $11 million is planned for road resurfacing next year, plus a $350,000 updated pavement assessment. Commissioners noted past years of zero paving, ~$40 million spent in four years to catch up on a 13-million-a-year maintenance target, and asked for the remaining backlog of roads scoring below 45-50 PCI.
Board of County Commissioners - Aug 11, 2026
The $216 million capital portfolio is 74% spent; the CR 220 bridge opens in October, several BTP road projects are finishing, and fire stations and the recovery center are progressing. The Economic Development Building won an excellence-in-construction award.
Board of County Commissioners - Jul 14, 2026
The voter-approved road bond program is almost done: CR 218 and CR 209 should wrap up this fall, and three projects are already complete. Commissioners dug into delays, sidewalk cracks, and why contractors aren't incentivized to finish early.
Planning Commission Meeting - Jul 7, 2026
Residents compared US 17 to Blanding Boulevard and questioned whether the traffic study honestly accounts for growth on Cathedral Oaks, Sandridge and other roads, and whether an expensive toll road can really be assumed to absorb trips.
Board of County Commissioners Meeting - May 12, 2026
CR 218 is 97% through its time, CR 209 is on schedule, and the CR 220 bridge is 90% done but won't open until October because connecting roads need rebuilding. Total program: $157.2M spent.
Board of County Commissioners Meeting - Apr 14, 2026
The BTP has spent $155.3 million; CR209 paving started this week, but the roundabout/Sandridge project is 77% paid out at 143% of its time elapsed, with the schedule still in dispute.
Board of County Commissioners Meeting - Feb 10, 2026
The BTP has grown from roughly $130M to $179M and is in its seventh year. Commissioner Condon blasted a half-million-dollar change order while CR 218 — the county's only critical deficiency road — was cut in half.
Board of County Commissioners Meeting - Jan 27, 2026
The county set its road project priorities for state funding, moving Cheswick Oaks up to number five while CR 218 — the county's only critically deficient road — stays lower on the list, frustrating residents.
Board of County Commissioners Meeting - Jan 13, 2026
Road projects are moving: two lanes opened at the Russell Road railroad crossing, the Sandridge roundabout is targeted for spring 2026, and night work is coming — but CR 218 is 100% through its schedule with only 59% paid out and the Kiewit dispute is unresolved.
