FPL to select route by mid-year

In January, FPL shared three possible routes for new power lines to the east of I-75 in Sarasota County.

In response to a follow-up inquiry, a spokesman said the company held a follow up "community advisory meeting" on Feb. 6 and that the goal is "to select a preferred route by mid-year."

The spokesman also shared a fact sheet and suggested that further public comment be sent to Rae Dowling: Rae.Dowling@fpl.com, 941-704-9072.
