The Manatee County Board of County Commissioners held a regular meeting on March 24, 2026, covering a range of administrative, property, and infrastructure items. Several agenda items point to local business opportunities. For example, the board approved a contract for construction phase geotechnical services for the 63rd Avenue East project from US 301 to Tuttle Avenue, which could involve geotechnical engineers and testing firms. They also authorized a change order for professional transportation engineering services for the Lena Road Project, a chance for civil engineers and transportation planners. Additionally, the board approved a guaranteed maximum price addendum for the Manatee County Fresh Start (Phase 1) project, which could involve general contractors, construction managers, and various subcontractors. Other items included property purchases and easements for road and utility improvements, which may lead to future work for land surveyors, utility contractors, and construction crews.
