Letter to the Editor and Commission Action

A letter to the editor appeared in the Sarasota Herald Tribune regarding a County Board discussion involving reducing a budget gap through the sale of surplus lands, including three public parcels at the celery fields. After in-depth discussion, the Commission voted to sell one of the three parcels, and to hold off on the other two. They anticipate receiving some structured advice and suggestions from the community. Details at the blog post below.
