Sema Construction Use of Cortez Seafood Shack Property

Description

The FDOT bridge contractor will negotiate use of the county-owned Cortez property for bridge construction staging; a 60-day right of entry was approved for south-side parcels 1, 3 and 4 only.

Impact summary

Could shorten bridge construction and avoid lane closures, but neighbors object to four years of heavy construction next to homes.
