FDOT to Host Highway Beautification Grant Workshop



The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will host a Florida Highway Beautification Council (FHBC) Grant Program workshop for local governments and community development organizations Wednesday, July 24 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the FDOT Ponce de Leon Operations Center, 1723 Sunrise Circle, Ponce de Leon.
The FHBC Grant Program, as defined in Section 11.45(1)(d), Florida Statutes, is a 50/50 matching grant that will pay for landscaping along state rights of way. FDOT allows qualified agencies to apply for annual highway beautification grants to improve the visual appeal of roadway landscapes and transportation facilities and sponsor litter prevention programs.

For more information on the workshop, contact Faye S. McBroom, FDOT District Three Permits Administrator, at (850) 836-5756 or via email at faye.mcbroom@dot.state.fl.us. More information regarding the FHBC Grant Program can be found at www.dot.state.fl.us/emo/beauty/beauty.shtm.
