Black & Veatch 60 Minute Engagement Break - Regulatory Initiatives/Trends in Florida – Is Your State Next?
In the past several years, Florida has implemented numerous water initiatives that are changing the regulatory landscape in the state.

Black & Veatch and Taylor Engineering delve into the impact of these recent initiatives, including House Bill 53 – Public Works, Senate Bill 64 – Reclaimed Water, and SLIP (Sea Level Impact Projection), and discuss what they could mean for your state. Speakers: Jo Ann Jackson, One Water National Practice Leader; Jon Dinges, Senior Water Resources Planning Leader; Walt Reigner, SE Regional Director Civil Infrastructure Systems; and Dr. Angela Schedel, Taylor Engineering
