DeSantis pitches $7B plan to ramp up highway construction

Jan 30, 2023

“These are all projects in the pipeline,” DeSantis said during an appearance at the SUNTRAX Test Facility Toll Operations in Auburndale. “They've been approved by local communities. They're really ready to get going. We just need to put the funds in place.” Under DeSantis’ proposal, $4 billion would come from a general-revenue surplus, which has built up as the state has seen higher-than-expected tax collections and as it received federal stimulus money. The remaining $3 billion would be raised through “innovative financing,” according to Department of Transportation Secretary Jared Perdue.

A spokesman for DeSantis on Monday said in an email that the budget proposal will be released “very soon.”
