Pineapple Square

Below is an email I sent this morning...

Mayor, Commissions,

I wanted to pass along my personal support for this project continuing forward. I think that the vitality, parking spaces and decent paying jobs that this project will bring to downtown are worth the effort to make it happen.

Of course, mine and most peoples' concern is that the City not "over pay" for this to happen. I would like to see the City and the developer reach a "deal" that is fair.

I think that the City of Sarasota has committed to and should build parking for the downtown area. I also think that this is a good location for it to happen - at the "right" price.

There are many issues that our City is facing that are very important but having a healthy economy with jobs available is an important part of any solution.
