SOTE.. Long Bar's Future?

Post by DoubleM »

The developers are pushing for "A marina that could handle 100-foot boats, ripping out 20 to 40 acres of mangrove forests and dredging a canal through seagrass are all part of the new plans along Sarasota Bay and El Conquistador Parkway."

That would suck.

There's a lot of money pushing the development. The only thing that can stop it is a lot of voices.
