County Commission Meets Today — Beach Boat Ramp Closed Through Wednesday

Spring Hill, FL · August 11, 2026

Engineers and county commissioners are settling into a busy docket early today, while boaters along the coast will need to shift their launch plans through tomorrow evening.

The Lead

County leaders convene at the courthouse this morning for a wide-ranging agenda touching infrastructure, public safety, and transit across the area. At the top of the docket is a $1.45 million construction contract award for the fourth phase of the Lake Lindsey Road resurfacing project, which will rebuild the stretch between Snow Memorial Highway and U.S. Highway 41. Commissioners are also hosting a public workshop on proposed increases to emergency medical and fire protection capital impact fees to ensure local stations keep pace with commercial growth. Additional agenda items include schedule updates for TheBus Route 9 to improve local transit reliability. Today’s votes send the road resurfacing agreement to final execution, with crews scheduled to begin prep work in early fall.
