Subject:	Financial Management (FM) No. 441412-1 Brevard County has rescheduled a Virtual Public Meeting (VPM) for the St. Johns Heritage Parkway Alternative Corridor Evaluation (ACE) Study. The meeting will now take place on Thursday, December 8, 2022. The ACE Study is being conducted to evaluate the potential for a new roadway corridor that could connect the existing segments of the St. Johns Heritage Parkway between Babcock Street on the south to Malabar Road on the north, a distance of approximately 14 miles. The ACE Study began in January 2020 and the first VPM was held in May 2021. The Study evaluated five alternative corridors, as well as the no-build option. The proposed alternatives were studied for impacts on the social, cultural, natural, and physical environments. Consideration was also given to engineering criteria, and project cost. Based on the analysis conducted, two corridors are recommended for further study to move forward into a future Project Development and Environment (PD&E) study. At this time, the PD&E Study, Design, Right-of-Way, and Construction phases are not funded. The VPM is being held to present the results of the ACE study and obtain public and stakeholder input. The meeting is being conducted as a VPM, which is a free, live webinar that is hosted online. If you wish to participate in the VPM, registration is required prior to joining. Interested participants will need to register at: https://tinyurl.com/StJohnsHeritagePkwyVPM. Once registered, participants will receive a confirmation email.

DeGroodt Public Library at 6475 Minton Road, Palm Bay, FL 32908 from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Attendees will need to provide their own headphones.

A call-in number is also provided for those who do not wish to access the webinar online. The call-in number is: (631) 992-3221 and the access code is 694-659-407. The VPM opens at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, December 8, 2022. A PowerPoint presentation will begin promptly at 5:35 p.m. Please provide adequate log-in time to view the presentation in its entirety.
