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.
