Harris County has made a significant appointment to the Flood Control District. Marcus Stuckett has been unanimously chosen by the Harris County Commissioners Court to lead the agency. This appointment marks a milestone as Stuckett becomes the first African American to hold the position of executive director.

The decision was made on Thursday, following a previous change in leadership two weeks prior. Former Executive Director Dr. Tina Petersen had stepped down, creating the vacancy that Stuckett will now fill.

Further details about the appointment and Stuckett's new role can be found through local news sources, including KPRC 2 and Click2Houston.
