Economic Development Report July 2023


 

All of our Economic Development information is on sarasotasistercites.com aka sarasotasistercities.blogspot.com. As I previously told the Board, I will be leaving the Board once a replacement is found. I will keep working until a replacement is found, and then work with the new VP in transition. My turn over file is on  sarasotasistercites.com 

Our Economic Development Reports can be found at economicdevelopmentreports.blogspot.com.

Beth and I are in Alaska, and have been on the road for 40 days and forty nights so far so my efforts in ecomomic development have been limited.  Our trip photos and report are at:  vancouveralaska.blogspot.com.  I did introduce our VP of Sports E. Ramey to Phil Chiocchio by email. Phil has some very interestering ideas for the development a major development on the Bay promoting wheeled sports. I told them I would be glad to work with them.

Our City and County conduct most of their economic development efforts through our Economic Development Corporation edcsarasotacounty.com at 301 N Cattlemen Rd, #203, Sarasota, FL 34232.  

The City of Sarasota also maintains an office for economic development. sarasotafl.gov/government/planning/office-of-economic-development.  Their programs are shown on the graphic below.  You can find out more about them on the link above.
