Many areas of the Tampa Bay region were heavily damaged by last year’s back-to-back hurricanes. The Pinellas County barrier islands were among the hardest hit.
To find out how the beach communities are recovering, the Institute for Strategic Policy Solutions at St. Petersburg College recently hosted six mayors for a State of the Beaches: Mayors’ Town Hall.
Thanks to ISPS and the City of Madeira Beach for this audio. The discussion was moderated by former news anchor Al Rouchel.
We hear from these mayors:
- Tim Thompson, Redington Beach
- John Doctor, Treasure Island
- Anne-Marie Brooks, Madeira Beach
- Diantha Schear, Indian Shores
- Karen Love, Gulfport
- Tom Kapper, Redington Shores
