Suncoast Connector will Encourage Economic Growth & Development, Revitalize Rural Communities

Business

Ahead of the third Suncoast Connector task force meeting, which will be held today, in Perry, Florida, local and statewide voices came together in support of the proposed corridor. The Suncoast Connector, which extends from Citrus County to Jefferson County, is one of the three corridors being studied as part of the Multi-use Corridors of Regional Economic Significance (M-CORES) program.

The M-CORES program, as detailed on the Florida M-CORES website, “is intended to revitalize rural communities, encourage job creation and provide regional connectivity while leveraging technology, enhancing the quality of life and public safety, and protecting the environment and natural resources. The program was signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis on May 17, 2019.”

In addition to the Suncoast Connector, the other two regional corridors being studied are the Southwest-Central Florida Connector and the Northern Turnpike Connector.  According to the Florida M-CORES website, “the task force will summarize the results of its analysis in a final report by October 1, 2020.”
