According to District 6 Communications and Public Engagement Director Mike Dougherty, the agency is working on 19 projects in 11 counties. Some of those projects are in The Med City. They include replacing the water main and sewers off of Broadway Ave North, adding a trail along Broadway Ave South and Hwy 14, and replacing the Elton Hills Drive Bridge.
