A judge has ruled that the City of Tampa must produce numerous records concerning the South Howard flood mitigation project, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
The decision follows a lawsuit filed by the SoHo Business Alliance, which challenged the city's handling of public records requests related to the project, WFLA 8 reported.
This ruling comes weeks after the Tampa City Council approved the $100.4 million flood prevention effort, which has been described as contentious by local media.
The order aims to increase transparency around the project as the city moves forward with its flood prevention plans in South Tampa.
