South County faces pressure to cut Apexsee industrial lands
Sarasota County commissioners debate reducing 2800 acres of Apexsee industrial land in South County while awaiting a new Planned Commercial District ordinance to guide development. Critics like John Saba and Beverly Stackler push for a reduction, citing overdesignated acreage and calls to limit future industrial growth. The plan backs park-like development with green belts, yet access concerns persist as the board waits for ordinance guidance.
