At Tuesday’s Okaloosa Board of County Commissioner’s meeting, the leadership of the Triumph Gulf Coast Board was in attendance to sign the agreement between the county and Triumph for the $64.1 million grant that will make the southwest Crestview bypass a reality.

The Triumph Board approved a final grant agreement with Okaloosa County for $64.1 million to assist with a $200 million bypass linking Highway 85 to US Highway 10 southwest of Crestview.

According to Triumph, this project will result in at least 1,300 new defense related jobs and provide long term relief for traffic congestion in the county.
