Gov. Ron DeSantis has vetoed nearly $50 million in projects benefiting the Tampa Bay region, including millions in water, transportation and other infrastructure needs.

DeSantis vetoed about $1 million from the approved budget, landing at $116.5 billion after vetoes.

DeSantis’ largest veto in the region was $5 million for transportation safety improvements in Bradenton, followed by $3.9 million that had been allocated to the University of South Florida for its Incident Response Simulation Modeling and Healthcare Professionals Training Program.

DeSantis also slashed $3 million each for a Pinellas and Pasco County affordable homeownership program and STEM enhancements for Florida Polytechnic.
