“With her broad background and deep experience, Beth’s addition to our already strong environmental and land use practice provides us with an even deeper bench of resources to serve our clients,” said Bill Perry, managing shareholder of Gunster. “ Providing for existing and future water users while also protecting the state’s water resources is one of the most important issues facing Florida, and Beth’s knowledge will be invaluable in helping our clients navigate these challenges.”
During her time at the SFWMD, Ross specialized in many Florida water policy and water resource related issues, including water supply planning and alternative water supply development. She was closely involved in legislation, drafting and negotiating Florida’s water supply related regulations and has played a key role in the Central Florida Water Initiative, the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan and the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control Project.
