Ocean Ridge Commissioner Carolyn Cassidy was honored during the Sept. 8 Town Commission meeting, receiving a gold Certificate of Excellence from the Florida League of Cities.

13727981284?profile=RESIZE_180x180Mayor Geoff Pugh praised Cassidy’s contributions to the town, highlighting her work with the League of Cities. “It’s so important that we have commissioners on our dais here that actually do a lot of work,” Pugh said.

Cassidy said she became engaged with the league shortly after her election in March 2023.

“I started going to the meetings and found out about this workshop, whereby I learned about all these grant opportunities,” Cassidy explained.

Soon, Ocean Ridge hired a lobbyist to seek grants for the town’s water pipe replacement and other projects.

She emphasized the importance of advocating for small towns in Tallahassee and the valuable networking opportunities the league provides.

Pugh went on to praise the entire Town Commission, describing it as potentially “the best or close to the best commission” he has ever sat on.

The award recognizes Cassidy’s dedication to municipal governance and her efforts to represent Ocean Ridge’s interests at the state level.
