Florida's population continues to grow...how will we address the impacts of that growth?  How will we deal with an aging population, with more cars on the roads and more requests for drinking water?  How will we recover from major storm events, or devastating natural calamities affecting agriculture, or address increased public education needs?  

The Century Commission for a Sustainable Florida was established by the Florida Legislature in 2005 to answer these kinds of questions.  It is comprised of 15 members, with 5 each appointed by the Governor, the Speaker of the Florida House and the President of the Florida Senate.  The Governor appoints the Chair, and Governor Bush has appointed St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Baker as the Commission's first Chair.

By law, the Century Commission must:
  • annually envision the future for the state,
  • continually consider laws and regulations and make recommendations as to how we can best accommodate population growth while maintaining our "quality of life,"
  • serve as a repository for our best "community-building" ideas and as a resource for all Floridians, and
  • beginning in 2007, provide a written report to the Legislature and Governor addressing specific growth management issues.
The Century Commission must be thoughtful in its analysis and bold in its recommendations.  To be successful, the Century Commission needs to hear what Floridians have to say. Please fill out the survey provided in this website or contact us at (850), extension 1165, or contact the Executive Director, Steve Seibert, at steve.seibert@centurycommission.org for further information.
