USS Orleck may move down the river

My guess is the Hyatt wants it moved.  It blocks its view of the river.

You are correct.

Yes, the Emerald Trail would be eligible for FDOT funding, but it doesn't appear it has any in either the current or proposed funding programs. These "off-system" non-highway projects don't receive a whole lot of money from FDOT overall and are thus highly competitive.

The Emerald Trail would be eligible for funding as a part of the SunTrail program. However as Charles mentions, there's not a lot of money in it and it's highly competitive

If someone could show that flooding of McCoys or Hogans Creeks negatively affects a state road (I-95, I-10, Mathews Xway, or Main, State, or Union Streets), it might be possible to get some FDOT dollars for flood alleviation work in the creek. But that's quite a long shot.

The only way to " Alleviate " 'Flooding ' at these waterways is to Accommodate flooding...... recognize the natural system. Flood Way. Flood Plain.
A tiny vestige of the original system remains in place now. A key element of " Plans".
Live with it. Flood. Zone.
Maybe build Giant Walls along Creeks. Ha!.... that would put us " On The Map"!

This, I fear, will be the story of the Orleck, just with a lot more dollars on the line.  And, this doesn't even cover operating expenses to come.

Planned POW-MIA museum asks for deadline extension

The organizers behind a planned military museum at Cecil Field is asking the city for five more years before vertical construction on the project has to start.

Since 2017, Cecil Field POW/MIA Memorial Inc. has leased space at the former naval air station with the goal of preserving the chapel that had been on the base and creating a national destination to honor American prisoners of war and those missing in action.

The original lease for the city-owned land was for five years with one 20-year renewal option, with construction of the memorial and museum set to begin by the end of 2022

The nonprofit has made improvements to the chapel building — which has been renamed the "Chapel of the High-Speed Pass" and designated as an historic landmark — including renovating a conference space, offices and a temporary museum. The group has also installed two aircraft as part of a static display.

It hasn't, however, started work on vertical construction, which was originally slated to begin in 2022.

Although site work has commenced, the nonprofit is continuing to raise funds in addition to the $1.77 million it has already raised, according to a city summary of the project....
