CRA TO RESCHEDULE
PALM AVENUE DECISION

Sarasota, FL: The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), which was scheduled on Mon., March 5, 2007 to select a developer for the redevelopment of city owned property fronting Palm Avenue, will reschedule that decision. Due to the anticipated length of discussion (possibly 4-5 hours), the Palm Avenue agenda item will be rescheduled as a special CRA meeting as soon as possible. The public will be notified when a date and time are selected.

On Thurs., February 22, 2007, the Community Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board (CRAAB) ranked four developers for the proposed project in the following order:

1. Benderson Development Company
2. Florida Main Street LLC
3. Roskamp & Patterson
4. John Buck Company & The Leiter Group

During the upcoming special CRA meeting, the CRA will hear public input, discuss the CRAAB’s recommendation, and decide which proposer will redevelop the city owned property on Palm Avenue.
