Sarasota Livin'

Article in today's Sarasota Herald Tribune about an alternate plan to build a conference center at the Fair Grounds that would include a sports arena, conference center and five star hotel. This plan competes with the Chamber of Commerce backed plan on the bayfront.

Personally I don't want to give up public bayfront views and definitely don't want ongoing taxpayer support for any deal - but I would love to see a quality conference center in Sarasota.
