The City of Tallahassee has successfully secured a grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) to support the $12 million Jake Gaither Community Pedestrian and Street Safety (PASS) Improvements Project.
“More action and investment in Tallahassee is coming thanks to the City’s strategic planning and concentrated efforts to secure vital grant funding,” City Manager Reese Goad said. “I’m proud of the aggressive approach we have taken to identify and apply for competitive state and federal grants, which has brought $300 million dollars to our community in the last five years.”
The City’s focused efforts have resulted in $300 million in grant funding since 2020, which exceeds the total amount of property taxes received by the City during the same time period. This highlights the City’s success in leveraging local dollars to move Tallahassee forward while keeping costs low for residents.
