The Economic Profile of Sarasota County is an introductory report that reviews various economic, demographic, and entrepreneurial conditions within the County. The report draws on a range of state and federal data sources, economic and cluster analyses performed by the consulting team, and information gathered in the community forums and industry focus groups held in Sarasota during January 2003. This report is not a final or definitive analysis of the economic situation in Sarasota County. Rather, it is intended to be a basis for discussions and strategy development. Many of the recommendations included in the report are preliminary, and will be refined as the planning initiative progresses. Below is a link to the full report. |
