DSCA is pleased to welcome new City Manager Karie Friling as guest speaker at the July 1 DSCA Board meeting.

Her visit comes at an important time for Downtown Sarasota. The city is dealing with continued downtown growth, major capital decisions, infrastructure needs, mobility and parking issues, sound and quality-of-life concerns, Bay Park implementation, possible property tax reform, and the future direction of downtown planning.

DSCA looks forward to a constructive conversation with Ms. Friling and the opportunity to share a downtown resident and neighborhood perspective.
