Business

We recognize that construction projects impact your business. We want the south I-494 business community to be engaged and stay informed throughout the project. During the current design and environmental documentation stage, targeted outreach will be conducted to further understand the needs of the business community along the corridor and how the design of I-494 will impact access to these businesses. When the project enters the construction stage, this page will provide businesses with all the necessary information to keep their employees and customers updated. Please check back often for the most up-to-date information.
