Allen named interim Port Everglades director
The Broward County board of county commissioners Tuesday appointed Phil Allen as the interim director of Port Everglades, while it undertakes a search for a permanent director.
Allen has served as Broward County’s chief financial officer since 1986.
Debbie L. Bowers, formerly Broward County’s director of real property, will serve as deputy port director.
Dallas-based Walters-Oldani Group Inc. is conducting a nationwide search for a permanent director, which is expected to take between three to six months.
