County approves $3.35M agreement for County Road 2321 resurfacing with DOT

The Bay County Board of County Commissioners convened on June 3, 2025, to discuss several key infrastructure projects, primarily focusing on the resurfacing of County Road 2321. The meeting highlighted an agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) that will allocate $3,358,630 for construction and inspection, with no county match required.

The project will include essential improvements such as turn lanes, guard rails, drainage enhancements, and audible vibratory treatments. Commissioners expressed enthusiasm about the project, particularly regarding its coordination with an upcoming roundabout construction in the Titus area. The roundabout is expected to improve safety by addressing issues related to roadway curvature and site distance.

During the discussion, it was clarified that the resurfacing project is still in the funding agreement stage and has not yet gone out to bid. The anticipated timeline for the funding to be available is in 2026, with expectations that the roundabout construction will precede the resurfacing efforts.

Commissioners acknowledged the importance of the project and thanked FDOT for their partnership, emphasizing the benefit of securing funds without requiring local matching dollars. The motion to approve the agreement was unanimously passed, reflecting a collective commitment to enhancing road safety and infrastructure in Bay County.
