Vice President

King’s career in public affairs includes stints as a Congressional Aide for a U.S. Congressman and as a Legislative Assistant for a committee chair in the State House. She was appointed by two Florida House speakers to three committees including appointment as a member of the House Computer and Telecommunications Commission. King was also awarded a Davis Productivity Award by Florida Taxwatch, Inc. for a cost saving idea implemented by the Florida House.

As a native of Florida, her personal interests in historic preservation and the protection of environmentally sensitive lands have combined with her professional talents to make her a leader in those grant fields for both Langton’s clients and the company.

King has written a successful application for Florida Communities Trust funding in every cycle since its inception. The projects she has promoted through this program range in size from 1/4 acre to 300 acres and in communities as diverse as the Florida Keys, the Jacksonville Beaches, Panama City, Volusia County, Palm Beach County, and Leon County. King has procured over $30 million through this program for Langton’s clients. Her leadership in this field has been recognized by organizations such as the Trust for Public Land, which has used her expertise to assist them in drafting a proposed Florida Communities Trust rule through the new Florida Forever Act.

A former Chairman of two National Historic Districts, her knowledge of historic preservation issues has given her insights that have allowed her to assist clients in many successful applications for funding. Her expertise in both the Historic Preservation Grant-in-Aid and Special Category programs has been recognized by the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation which has invited her to lecture on writing successful applications at their annual meeting. She has written successful applications for historic resource and archaeological surveys, rehabilitation plans, museum exhibits, and extensive renovation of historic structures.

Natural extension of her talents in these fields have also allowed King to be a leader in recreation, coastal management, and cultural facilities programs for Langton Associates. She has obtained grants for community visioning, development of over 50 parks, as well as construction and renovation of civic centers, art galleries, and environmental learning centers.
