Governor Scott Invests in Florida's Environment

Governor Scott Invests in Florida's Environment We are putting forward strategies each and every day to address the water quality issues that are impacting families in our state. This week, we announced a plan to assist in water quality improvements for the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie estuaries, which will also benefit Everglades restoration. The state of Florida will invest $90 million over three years to build a bridge on Tamiami Trail road that will allow water to flow into the Everglades. This will provide much needed water to the Everglades National Park, while keeping nutrient rich water out of the estuaries.    Constructing the Tamiami Trail Bridge is crucial to the long term health of the region. We will continue to do what is best for Florida families and look forward to the completion of this project in the coming years.   First Lady Ann Scott spent this week visiting elementary school classrooms across the state to encourage Florida's youngest students to enjoy reading.
