M-CORES highway toll project for state quietly shelved
By NATHAN MAYBERG / nmayberg@breezenewspapers.com - | Jul 9, 2021
Proposed new highways stretching hundreds of miles, including some of which would potentially extend through the heart of the endangered panther’s habitat between Polk County and Collier County, has hit a dead end.
The controversial M-CORES (Multi-use corridors of regional economic significance) project, which was reversed in votes by the state legislature in the current legislative session, was recently signed into law by Gov.
