WESTLAKE, FL – Minto
Communities announced that construction has begun on improvements to Seminole
Pratt Whitney Road through the newly formed City of Westlake.
The improvements consist of major utility
infrastructure installation, placing the overhead power underground, as well as
widening a 1.5-mile stretch of the roadway.
The project will also
include the installation of a rural parkway landscape buffer. Minto agreed to this significant
infrastructure project as part of its development order for Westlake, a
3,800-acre master-planned community.
While Minto is funding and
paying the approximately $19-million cost, the project will be constructed
jointly by Minto and the Seminole Improvement District.
Plans call for expanding
the two-lane road to four lanes with a landscaped divided median. Widening will
occur from the northern end of Seminole Ridge High School to just past 60th
Street North. In addition, there will be an 80-foot landscaped buffer and
sidewalks constructed in the dedicated Rural Parkway Easement.
“The District has executed
all contract documents and the road contractor has been issued a notice to
proceed. Mobilization efforts and pre-construction efforts are well underway,”
said Mike Belmont, president of Minto Communities.
“As part of our
development order with Palm Beach County, we agreed to step up and commence
construction on this substantial improvement to Seminole Pratt Whitney before
putting a shovel in the ground for our new community,” said John Carter, vice president of Minto
Communities. “We are pleased to see this major transportation improvement
project starting.”
