The first phase of the town of Longboat Key’s $49.1 million underground utilities project is nearly completed.
During the Dec. 14 town commission workshop meeting, Town Manager Tom Harmer discussed when electricity would flow through underground cables to homes on the south end of the island.
“I know one of the things the mayor and I have talked about is when is that first house going to be turned on in Country Club Shores?” Town Manager Tom Harmer said. “Hopefully, the lights won’t flicker on the island when we do that, but then we can celebrate because we’re getting closer and closer to that opportunity.”
