• Stickney Point questions prompt delay for lawmakers' $20M vote (businessobserverfl.com) — Sarasota County has delayed borrowing $20.77 million to buy and redevelop the Boatyard property just over the south bridge to Siesta Key, raising questions about business displacement and park plans. Commissioners want clearer designs and options to keep longtime tenant Siesta Key Watersports operating, since the popular attraction draws tens of thousands of visitors and significant tax revenue to the Siesta Key area.
