Haigh outlines case for keeping county complex on current site
Sarasota County Commissioner Fred Haigh told Kiwanis Club members that preserving the present county government site is best and least expensive for expansion. He cited a $2–3 million existing investment, prime-location tests, flood control benefits, zoning and building codes, and Sarasota County’s vitality across 600 square miles, 13 watersheds, four municipalities, and 875 subdivisions as reasons for supporting the current downtown location. Haigh urged public involvement and noted the county’s broad services and progress.
