Since SW 328 Street is owned and maintained by the City of Homestead, they acquired the right-of-way required to construct the new roadway improvements subject to Board of County Commissioners Resolution No. R-432-13. There is a segment of the project that is within Florida City limits, for which right-of-way was acquired by Florida City. All permits for the project have been obtained.

The construction of the Project is a priority for both Cities as SW 328 Street (Lucy Street) is a major east/west corridor. The Project will provide an increase in traffic capacity for residential and commercial development, improve traffic mobility, provide ADA compliance, and ensure the availability of multiple codes of transportation. The area is comprised of major retailers, local business, and agricultural production that generate economic support and employment which benefits the southern portion of Miami-Dade County.
