A new executive director has been appointed to lead the Harris County Flood Control District. Marcus Stuckett was unanimously chosen by the Harris County Commissioners Court for the position. This appointment is notable as Stuckett is the first African American to hold this role.

The decision was made on Thursday, marking a new leadership era for the district. Stuckett's appointment comes after the previous executive director, Dr. Tina Petersen, stepped down two weeks prior.
