It is a feasibility study using demonstration projects. What does "demonstration project" mean to you? I can think of a few "demonstration projects":
1. Widening 75 from WIldwood to Ocala would be a nice demonstration project
2. Widening 301 from Sumterville through Wildwood would be a nice demonstration project
3. Partnering with a developer and using the material in their next phase would be a nice demonstration project
4. Converting a plant to use the new material and then using that for all the projects in 2024 would be a nice demonstration project.
When I read "demonstration project" I get the impression that the author wanted me to imagine a few spots in the Gov's parking lot when in reality what was meant was a green light to do whatever they want under the umbrella of "feasibility study."
