The Celery Fields Regional Stormwater Facility is a 300-acre regional stormwater storage facility, and the largest single stormwater project in Sarasota County¹. The project was undertaken by Sarasota County beginning in approximately 1993 in order to mitigate ongoing flooding in the Phillippi Creek floodplain?. The project was completed over a 6 year span of time at cost of more than $23.4 million dollars (not including the County park), and was dedicated on October 18, 1999.¹
