County to fund roads with FP&L fees, bypassing dual tax districts
Sarasota County Commissioners approve an ordinance funding community and rural road work solely from FP&L franchise fees in unincorporated areas, eliminating the court-ordered dual taxation payments to cities like Venice and Sarasota. Cities protest loss of revenue while officials question if FP&L funds will cover needed upgrades and future bond possibilities. County also pursues impact fees to offset growth costs.
