Wakulla County has already won approval from the Florida Department of Transportation to pursue designation of an 88-mile scenic coastal corridor, and work is under way in Franklin and Leon Counties to make the entire 248-mile Big Bend Scenic Byway a reality.

The proposed Byway also includes 32 miles of the Apalachicola National Forest in Liberty County previously designated by the USDA Forest Service as the Apalachee Savannahs Scenic Byway. 

Florida Foresight has partnered with local citizen groups and agencies to support and expand this grassroots process as an excellent tool for planning and economic development as well as for protection and enhancement of intrinsic resources—natural, scenic, recreational, historic, cultural, and archaeological—along the Byway.
