$200 million Sarasota bayfront park names new CEO

The Bay Park Conservancy, a transformative $200 million project on 53 prime acres on Sarasota Bay in downtown Sarasota, has a new CEO.  

The new leader is Stephanie Crockatt, who previously ran a nonprofit park system in Buffalo, New York. Crockatt replaces Founding Bay Park Conservancy CEO A.G. Lafley, who had overseen the project — on a volunteer basis — since 2019. 

Lafley will stay on through the transition to maintain the project’s momentum.
