Public Forum - STOP

On February 11th from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm there will be a public forum sponsored by the Better Government Association discussing the Downtown Sarasota Code and the administrative review process.  It will be held at the Gelbart Auditorium at the Selby Library in Downtown Sarasota.  I urge our members who have work, or plan on having work in Downtown Sarasota to attend.  The AIA Florida Gulf Coast Chapter and its members should be vocal participants in discussions that directly affect our profession.  I am also attaching to this email a link to a series of articles that shed light on STOP’s agenda.  I look forward to seeing you all there.
