Democratic state Rep. Lindsay Cross has secured $3.4 million in funding for local projects, a large number considering Cross serves amid a GOP supermajority in the Legislature.
Cross’ top funding item, at $1 million, provides critical funding for resiliency efforts in the Shore Acres neighborhood in Cross’ district.
Shore Acres has always been particularly prone to flooding, and impacts have been worse in recent years.
Cross also secured $985,000 for a Florida agriculture and technology workforce program.
Cross was also able to secure her full funding request, $750,000, for a Pinellas Park citywide lift station, also to mitigate flooding events.
