U.S. 1 Roundabout at Old Dixie Highway Public Hearing Next Week

Flagler County The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will hold a public hearing about the proposed design of a roundabout at the intersection of U.S. 1/State Road 5 and Old Dixie Highway next Thursday, Jan. 18, at the Community Baptist Church, 956 S.
