The .97 mile-long concrete pedestrian sidewalk is currently in the design phase, said County Engineer Scott Bitterman. He estimated the sidewalk project would be under construction sometime over the next couple of years.
The cost of the project is approximately $416,000. Bitterman said Okaloosa County’s half-cent sales tax would fund the project.
The sidewalk will be constructed on right-of-way already owned by the county.
