Regional Resiliency
The County joined others of the Tampa Bay region to create a resiliency coalition in October 2018. This coalition will help serve as a means to coordinate resiliency and mitigation efforts across city and county lines. You can learn more about the
Resiliency Coalition's MOU here.
In March 2020, Manatee County, along with the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council, Pinellas County, Hillsborough County, and the City of Largo, were awarded the NREL Solar Energy Innovation Network grant. This grant led to the creation of Project
Clear Sky Tampa Bay, which is a regional effort to research solar energy benefits for our region's critical infrastructure. For more information, visit the TBRPC's website at
