PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED SR 408 EXTENSION DRAWS NEARLY 600 PEOPLE
Attendees viewed exhibits, discussed the proposed extension with CFX staff and offered their views on it during a public comment period at the April 26 public hearing.

Nearly 600 people attended the public hearing proposal to extend SR 408 from SR 50 to SR 520 in East Orange County held on April 26 at East River High School in Orlando.
