Join Hillsborough County Administrator Michael Merrill at our August luncheon to learn more about the recently announced mobility proposal to implement and fund transportation projects that support the county's economic development goals. 

Mr. Merrill was appointed Hillsborough County Administrator in 2010.  Prior to that appointment, he served the county for more than 20 years as Director of the County’s Debt Management Department and as an Assistant County Administrator for Utilities and Commerce. For the past 15 months Mr. Merrill has guided the efforts of the Transportation for Economic Development (TED) Policy Leadership Group, which is comprised of all seven Hillsborough County Commissioners, the Mayors of Tampa, Plant City and Temple Terrace and the Chair of HART. The group has engaged in a series of public meetings with transportation and economic development experts to discuss long-range transportation solutions and funding initiatives. Join us on August 26 to hear the most up-to-date news about the TED Policy Leadership Group and its future transportation plans for our community.
