What Blueprint Intergovernmental Agency does

Blueprint Intergovernmental Agency (BPIA) is a joint City-County government agency established in 2000 under Florida Statutes Section 163.01(7) to implement voter-approved major infrastructure projects across the Tallahassee-Leon County community. The agency operates three integrated divisions: Blueprint Infrastructure (66% of funding, the primary delivery arm for transportation, utilities, stormwater management, parks, greenways, and trails), the Office of Economic Vitality (12%, focused on economic development programs), and PLACE (Planning, Land Management & Community Enhancement, a joint City-County department formed in 2016 to integrate planning functions and project oversight). Since inception, the agency has invested $777.39 million in capital projects, leveraging an additional $405.7 million in outside funding, and has delivered 60 miles of bicycle and pedestrian facilities, 19 miles of sidewalks, 13 miles of trails, 14 miles of roadway improvements, 1,462 acres of public/park space, and 10 new parks.

Blueprint is funded entirely by a voter-approved one-cent sales surtax originally approved in 2000 and re-approved in 2014, with a fixed allocation formula that distributes receipts across Blueprint Infrastructure, the Office of Economic Vitality, the City of Tallahassee, Leon County, and the LIFE Program. The agency is governed by an IA Board of Directors comprising the Leon County Commission and Tallahassee City Commission sitting jointly, with a Citizens Advisory Committee, Technical Coordinating Committee, and Intergovernmental Management Committee providing structured oversight. There is no traditional commercial revenue model; the go-to-market is direct government implementation via public procurement, contracts, and construction management with contractors and consultants. Public engagement occurs through community meetings, project updates, a comprehensive website, and active social media channels.

The current project portfolio includes signature initiatives such as the Airport Gateway corridor (improving seven miles of roadway with multimodal safety enhancements for the Southwest community), Northeast Gateway/Welaunee Boulevard (with a new I-10 overpass), Market District Placemaking, Northeast Corridor/Bannerman Road, and Orange/Meridian Placemaking. The agency also runs an Artful Infrastructure program that integrates public art and historical commemoration into capital projects, exemplified by the History and Culture Trail (12 site-specific artworks), Skateable Art Park, and the Smokey Hollow Commemoration. Operationally, BPIA runs with approximately 17-18 staff including a Director, managers, project managers, attorneys, and construction personnel, and has accumulated over two dozen industry awards from APA, APWA (including national-level recognition), ASCE, AIA, and state-level preservation bodies.

Direct peers

• Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority (THEA): Florida special district delivering transportation infrastructure within Hillsborough County using dedicated toll and local revenue; similar single-county capital-delivery mandate and dedicated revenue model to Blueprint.
• Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX): Florida special-purpose authority that finances, builds, and maintains toll-road infrastructure using dedicated revenue; analogous to Blueprint in operating as a quasi-independent infrastructure delivery body with dedicated funding outside the general fund.
• Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA): Florida independent special authority that plans, designs, and delivers multimodal transportation infrastructure funded by dedicated local revenue; comparable to Blueprint in its project-delivery mandate and dedicated public funding model.

Regional players

• Miami-Dade Transportation Planning Organization (TPO): Metropolitan planning body for Miami-Dade County that coordinates transportation investment priorities across jurisdictions; shares Blueprint's public-sector planning-and-delivery orientation in a larger Florida market.
• Capital Regional Transportation Planning Agency (CRTPA): The metropolitan planning organization for the Tallahassee-Leon County region; while it focuses on transportation planning rather than capital delivery, it is the closest regional peer given overlapping jurisdiction and shared leadership with Blueprint.
• Hillsborough County Capital Projects / Infrastructure Department: County-level government organization responsible for planning and delivering capital infrastructure projects within Hillsborough County; comparable in its use of dedicated local revenue to deliver transportation, stormwater, and parks projects.

Broad incumbents

• Florida's Turnpike Enterprise: Statewide toll-road and infrastructure entity within FDOT that finances, builds, and operates major transportation assets using dedicated revenue; a broader incumbent peer in the same dedicated-public-funding infrastructure delivery category.
