State representatives had to submit their requests by January 4.
The biggest request for our area is $39 million to widen Highway 390 in Bay County. The request is sponsored by Representatives Marti Coley and Jimmy Patronis. The county says the money would be used to widen a four mile stretch of the road through Lynn Haven and add bike lanes and emergency shoulders.
Other big projects from our area include a request for almost $20 million for improvements to Wewahitchka's wastewater system, an almost $15 million request for the Grand Lagoon Bridge replacement in Bay County, $14 million dollars for a new Jackson County Health Department building, and $12 million for a Jackson County administration complex to consolidate county offices.
These are just requests for funding. We won't know if these will get approved until the spring when the legislature meets.
