County commissioner urges Freeport to convene regional partners on transportation priorities

Walton County Commissioner Dan Curry spoke to the City of Freeport council and asked local officials to join county and state partners in a single summit to align transportation priorities across jurisdictions. Curry argued roads and infrastructure do not respect municipal boundaries and that combined lists and a shared message improve chances of securing state and federal funding.

"Let's get everyone to the table," Curry said, urging a meeting at the new community center involving the county, the city of Freeport, other municipal partners, FDOT, the sheriff's office, the school board and state representatives. He offered county staff support to compile a prioritized list of projects and suggested Freeport participate in a joint approach to funding and implementation.
