Property owners along State Road 82 between Shawnee Road and Alabama Road, whose property is needed for the State Road 82 widening project, can expect to receive offers from the Florida Department of Transportation perhaps about seven months from now.  As of August 9, 2013, according to the FDOT, the negotiations for right-of-way are scheduled to begin March 17, 2014, while appraisals are scheduled for November 25, 2013 to February 17, 2014.

All of this means it’s definitely time for property owners along State Road 82 between Shawnee Road and Alabama Road to start planning!

As of August 9, 2013, FDOT’s project summary shows $181,866 allocated to right-of-way acquisition in fiscal year 2014, $161,089 allocated to right-of-way acquisition in fiscal year 2015, and $71,105 allocated to right-of-way acquisition in fiscal year 2016.  It’s important to note that, as of August 9, 2013, the FDOT’s website for the Shawnee Road to Alabama Road segment continues to state:  “The right-of-way acquisition phase is not currently funded.”
