The workshop will be a forum where all key stakeholders including the County, the Cities of Destin and Fort Walton Beach, the Bridge Authority, the RTPO and other key stakeholders can come together to hear about FDOT’s process for the Alternatives Analysis and listen to stakeholders to identify and inventory the alternative options available with the understanding that the alternatives analysis and the PD&E’s NEPA process will be applied to screen out all but the most environmentally and financially feasible alternatives.
