Blueprint currently has 31 active projects that are either currently under construction, will be in the next 5 years, or are in the planning or design phase. These projects are distributed across the community from the Orange-Meridian Placemaking project to Market District Placemaking from Bannerman Road to the Airport Gateway. The total investment in all active projects is over $515 million over the next five years, which is a combination of sales tax funding and leveraged funds. These projects improve safety, reduce traffic congestion and add open space and parks. Specifically, there are 31 active projects and subprojects, 22+ miles of improved roadway, 79+ miles of bike/ped facilities, 250+ acres of developed public space, and 8 new public parks coming to our town!

Why I joined the Chamber
“The Chamber is all about being given the opportunity to form relationships through networking. In Leads Groups, you spend quality time with other businesses, and often gain “Access” (another Chamber group focusing on younger members) to their connections as well. In Leadership Tallahassee, you gain a new family of business leaders, and are guaranteed exposure to something or some group you were not familiar with, while broadening your understanding of all things “Tallahassee”. With LT’s Building Better Boards, you get to spend an evening with a great, philanthropic/altruistic group who are learning to serve their nonprofits more effectively. With the Chamber Conference, you get to spend quality time off-site and in a more casual setting while learning more about our community. Is the Chamber helpful for your business? Absolutely – especially if you join, engage, and take advantage of the great programs they offer!”
