Sarasota Area Flood-Resilience Spending Accelerates

Sarasota officials approved roughly $20 million for flood and storm-resilience projects, including $13.5 million for St. Armands and $6.4 million for Celery Fields, expected to add 19.5 million gallons of capacity. Countywide stormwater work and a Siesta Key drainage study add to a growing infrastructure response after major flooding.
