TALLAHASSEE, FL, UNITED STATES, June 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As one of the fastest growing states in the country, safe and connected infrastructure is vital to enhance the quality-of-life for Floridians, strengthen the

state’s economy, and keep Florida a global leader in transportation. To celebrate the exceptional infrastructure projects that are keeping Florida moving safely and efficiently, the American Council of Engineering Companies of Florida (ACEC Florida) and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) recently awarded eight Outstanding Project Awards.
