Park Construction Inspector

Named for our 1400 plus lakes, we were formed from a portion of Orange County and Sumter County in 1887. In Lake County's earliest beginnings, pioneers looked to the earth for their livelihood. We grew into a place rich in agriculture.

Today, Lake County is a different place. Our parks and recreational facilities, manufacturing and higher paying jobs are the key reasons. A booming population has led to a surge of new housing construction. Tourism is at an all time high. Visitors flock to antique shopping areas and cruise on our many lakes. Sports enthusiasts experience the adrenaline rush found at our competition ski schools or in a glider plane.
