City Welcomes Economic Development Corporation to Downtown

The City of Sarasota welcomes and congratulates the Economic Development Corporation of Sarasota County (EDC) on its upcoming move to downtown Sarasota, the region’s business core.  The EDC announced its relocation plans earlier this week.  The new office will be located at the HuB, along Fruitville Road, after being based on Cattleman Road since 2005.

“We’re excited about this news,” City Manager Tom Barwin said.  “Downtown Sarasota is integral to doing business in the area.  Having the EDC downtown will bolster the synergy between the City, County, and other partners to grow businesses and attract diverse companies to our area.  We welcome the EDC and I personally look forward to working closely with them to make our region even more vibrant.”

The EDC of Sarasota County is a private not-for-profit corporation which leads the economic development strategy throughout the region.  To learn more visit www.EDCSarasotaCounty.com
