Blueprint 2000

Paredes's last day is July 8th. Her office most recently secured a deal to bring Amazon to Tallahassee.

Tallahassee Commissioner Jeremy Matlow says decisions about local infrastructure spending are too often made outside the public view. Matlow is suing the Blueprint Intergovernmental Agency to force meetings of its Intergovernmental Management Committee into the sunshine.

The joint City of Tallahassee and Leon County Blueprint Agency met Thursday afternoon to discuss the agency’s governance. It comes after a bitter fight over funding repairs and improvements to FSU’s Doak Cambell Stadium.

The Blueprint Independent Agency voted to allocate $20 million to Florida State University for repairs to Doak Campbell Stadium Thursday evening.

A rift has emerged in Tallahassee over whether to use local development money to help fund repairs to Florida State University’s Doak Campbell Stadium. The issue is one of appropriateness: Is it right for the joint Blueprint Commission to use local taxpayer money on the repairs? And should such projects fall under the economic development banner?

As a vote over whether to give Florida State University $20 million in local government money approaches, Tallahassee Mayor John Dailey is on the defensive.

Dozier has been the commissioner representing the county's District 5 from east Tallahassee to the Jefferson County line since 2010.

The question has been raised by local residents in recent weeks following a controversial vote by the intergovernmental agency that granted Florida State University millions of dollars for stadium improvements and repairs.
