    A Community-Based Approach

    The Multi-use Corridors of Regional Economic Significance (M-CORES) program is Florida’s most significant infrastructure-building project since the 1950s. Regional task forces will study three specific corridors intended to address rural infrastructure needs across the state, and the task forces will stress collaboration with local communities. The program is modeled after the Wekiva Parkway (State Road 429), which created much-needed regional road infrastructure while helping to protect the natural resources surrounding the Wekiva River. The M-CORES study areas are broad and do not identify specific routes.

    M-CORES Goals

    z Alleviate congestion

    z Support multiple modes of transportation (shared-use trails, freight and passenger rail, public transit)

    z Improve energy distribution

    z Build water, sewer and other infrastructure

    z Connect rural communities

    z Expand broadband service

    z Conserve wildlife

    z Protect environmentally sensitive areas

    z Create jobs

    z Advance trade and logistics z Provide hurricane

    evacuation routes
