Skyway refinancing plan cuts Sarasota county links
The State Development Commission backed a Sunshine Skyway refinancing plan and moved into court validation with Gov. Collins approval, trimming two Sarasota and Pinellas County links and leaving only a $2,471,000 four lane project on Highway 301 from Bradenton to 10th Street in Sarasota. The action slashes about $7.6 million from the original $34 million plan while clashing with St. Petersburg opponents who vow legal action to block the plan.
