21. Recommendation Concerning the Scheduling of a Public Hearing for the Florida

Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-05-07 · agenda_item

The Escambia County Board of County Commissioners is planning a public hearing on May 21, 2026, to discuss a grant application for mass transit projects. The Mass Transit Department is applying to the Florida Department of Transportation for Section 5311 funding for both capital and operating expenses for Fiscal Year 2026. This item is currently under review as the county prepares to receive public comments. The project involves the application for and potential receipt of funds for transit operations and capital improvements. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage with the Mass Transit Department to understand future needs related to transit operations and potential capital expenditures. Reaching out now, before specific projects and funding allocations are finalized, allows businesses to position themselves for potential work.
