Ed is a native of Tampa who grew up in Pinellas County and offers a unique perspective of the Pinellas Park Water Management District and its regional significance. "It seems like we have a 25-year storm event annually and a 100-year event about every 5 years, so the scope of work of the Pinellas Park Water Management District has never been more important." With density increasing, the threat of hurricanes and the ever rising cost of improvements and insurance, the District and its drainage projects and flood control systems are essential components for the future of the region.
