Rick Scott Focuses on Rural Roads in Palm Beach County

Gov. Rick Scott focused on rural road improvement on Thursday, appearing in Belle Glade to focus on how that town, Pahokee and South Bay will receive $3.8 million in his Rural Areas of Opportunity program.

Building and repairing roadways in rural communities is a top priority to help Florida continue to be the worlds No. 1 tourist and business destination, Scott said on Thursday. This $3.8 million investment will allow our rural communities in Palm Beach County to make important roadway upgrades so they can continue to grow. We are committed to increasing economic activity and job creation across Florida so every family can get a great job and live their dreams in the Sunshine State.
