FHWA reallocates unused transportation funds from other states and distributes them to states that request additional funding on a discretionary basis.
Just last week, the state announced over $122 million in awards from the Florida Department of Transportation for rural infrastructure through programs including the Small County Outreach Program
The announcement covers four renewable energy projects that will bring new transmission lines, solar facilities and over 4.7 gigawatts of renewable energy.
The selected communities will focus on projects such as building efficiency and electrification, clean transportation, energy infrastructure improvements, microgrid development, renewable energy and job training.
