CITY SEEKS MORE INPUT
ON NEWTOWN INITIATIVE
Sarasota, FL: The City of Sarasota invites residents and
business owners to continue participating in forums to
create significant sustainable changes in North Sarasota.
Action committee meetings will be held over the next several
weeks to continue the dialogue and develop strategies in
five areas determined by the community to be high priorities:
economic development, law enforcement, neighborhoods, social
services and youth services.
Each of the first two community meetings, held recently
in North Sarasota, attracted more than 100 people. All
were committed to creating “A New Day in Newtown”.
Since the discussion began, the community renamed the initiative “A
New Beginning for Newtown”.
During the most recent community meeting, held February
23rd, participants prioritized their ideas and solutions
for Newtown. The upcoming committee meetings will specifically
address those priorities and begin putting ideas into action.
Please attend any or all of the action committee meetings
and invite a friend or neighbor to be a part of “A
New Beginning for Newtown”. All meetings will be
held at the Newtown Redevelopment Office located
at 1782 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Way:
The social services and youth services action committee
meetings are expected to be scheduled for early April.
Notices will be issued once the dates are confirmed.
For more information please contact the Neighborhood Partnership
Office: 954-2612.
