POWELL JOINS MONROE COUNTY PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES DEPARTMENT

Barbara Powell joined the Monroe County Planning and Environmental Resources department this week as the new Planning Policy Advisor. Powell comes to Monroe County from the State of Florida Department of Commerce (formerly the Department of Economic Opportunity), where she managed the Area of Critical State Concern program, including the Florida Keys, Key West, Green Swamp, Big Cypress, and Apalachicola Bay, and most recently held the position of Deputy Bureau Chief, overseeing multiple planning programs and staff. Many County staff have worked closely with Powell over the years, and she brings technical expertise and more than 15 years of knowledge specific to the Florida Keys’ comprehensive planning history. Powell will be assisting and advising on high-level applications and policy initiatives.
