The Walton County Board of County Commissioners will host a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the U.S. Highway 331 Water and Sewer Project. Community partners, along with representatives from the City of DeFuniak Springs, the Walton County Economic Development Alliance (EDA), and the Triumph Board are expected to be in attendance.
The $4.7 million project, funded through grants from the United States Treasury ($3 million) and Triumph ($1.7 million), allows for future commercial and residential growth along the U.S. Highway 331 corridor and provides the water and sewer infrastructure needed to support the new Northwest Florida Industrial Park at Woodlawn.
Construction, which involved the installation of approximately 15,738 linear feet of 16" water main, approximately 17,002 linear feet of 6" force main and 4,682 linear feet of 8” force main, and two pump stations, began in August 2021 and was completed this month.
The ceremony will take place Wednesday, January 4th at 1:00 pm at the entrance of the Northwest Florida Commerce Park at Woodlawn on U.S. Highway 331 S, across from W Indian Creek Ranch Road. The public is invited to attend. For more information, please contact Rachel Jenkins, Public Information Officer, at (850) 892-8155.
