Shaping Sarasota's Future
Like all cities that are experiencing growth, Sarasota is challenged with managing this change effectively and efficiently to maintain and improve our every day quality of life. The Planning & Redevelopment Department works with the public serving the current and long range planning and redevelopment needs of the City of Sarasota. The Department is organized into four divisions: Long Range Planning, Current Planning, Downtown Redevelopment, and Newtown Redevelopment.
