…Many of you know and have experienced that our current interstate is already feeling this growth. If you’ve ever traveled on Interstate 4 or Interstate 75 near Tampa, you’ve most likely been stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic at some point. And, this is now with 5 million fewer residents than we’re expected to have in 2030.
This is exactly why I think it’s so important for the state to plan now for our future interstate needs by moving forward with the Multi-use Corridors of Regional Economic Significance (M-CORES) program.
