Pizzuti Solutions Completes $450,000 Milwaukee Avenue Extension to Border $30 Million Dunedin Gateway in Florida

ORLANDO, Fla. --- Pizzuti Solutions, LLC, a division of The Pizzuti Companies of Columbus, Ohio and Orlando, recently completed a $450,000 extension of Milwaukee Avenue between Main Street and Skinner Boulevard across from Mease Dunedin Hospital (top right photo) in downtown Dunedin.

Pizzuti Vice President Tom Harmer, (bottom left photo)  who manages Pizzuti Solutions, the division that focuses on the firm’s public-private programs, said the road construction project was part of the infrastructure improvements that helps to set the stage for a major $30 million redevelopment of the 4.1-acre Dunedin Gateway, a downtown parcel bordered by Milwaukee Avenue, Skinner Boulevard (S.R. 580), and Main Street.

The first phase of the planned retail and office development will include ground-floor shopping and Class A medical office space, Harmer said.

Pizzuti Solutions is also overseeing the design and construction of $1 million in streetscape improvements on Main Street between Skinner Boulevard and Milwaukee Avenue, Harmer said.

Those improvements include relocating the utilities underground, reducing lanes from four to two, providing angled street parking, installation of brick pavers and crosswalks, landscaping and decorative street lighting. Funding for the road and streetscape projects is supported by a State grant for economic development, with completion expected early next year.
