WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Rick Scott applauded the Trump Administration’s move to advance the Tamiami Trail Next Steps Project. This next phase of the Tamiami Trail builds on Senator Scott’s efforts as Governor to complete this project, which is critical to the health of Florida’s Everglades, and urging for federal funding last year.

Senator Rick Scott said, “I applaud the Trump Administration’s continued commitment to our environment with progress on this critical project. This builds on my efforts as Governor to fund the Tamiami Trail Modification Next Step Phase I and champion significant funding for the Everglades, and my urging of federal funding for Phase II as Senator. I look forward to continuing this strong federal-state partnership to finish the Tamiami Trail and help preserve Florida’s historic Everglades National Park for generations to come.”
