Manatee County Presents Key Legislative Priorities for 2025 Session

Manatee County Government recently engaged with its state legislative delegation to outline a series of priorities aimed at enhancing community development and public services during the 2025 legislative session. Commission Chair George Kruse led the presentation, emphasizing initiatives designed to positively impact the region.

During the meeting, the county leadership detailed its legislative "wish list," which includes funding requests and policy adjustments that align with the community's evolving needs. These proposals focus on infrastructure improvements, public safety enhancements, environmental preservation, and economic growth strategies to benefit local residents.

The county's state delegation consists of Senator Jim Boyd, Senator Joe Gruters, Representative Will Robinson, Representative Bill Conerly, and Representative Michael Owen. Each legislator plays a critical role in advocating for the county's priorities at the state level.

Looking ahead, Manatee County plans to present its federal priorities in the spring, further advancing efforts to secure support and resources for the community's growth and well-being.
