Applications are being accepted for one appointment to the Greater Seminole Area Special Recreation District by the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners. The selected applicant will fill the remainder of current term, expiring on Oct. 31, 2026.

The Greater Seminole Area Special Recreation District may enter into a management contract with associations or organizations whose programs are intended to serve the recreational needs of both adults and youths.
