Sarasota Area Information

When the Florida land boom ended, Sarasota had three large modern hotels, a high class business district, scores of apartment houses, hundreds of fine new homes, 77 miles of paved streets, a municipal golf course, a hospital, a good school system, bridges running from the keys to the mainland, and improved rail and boat transportation systems.

In the tough years of the Great Depression, Sarasota received its first Works Progress Administration (WPA) project in 1935, which funded a drainage project for the city golf course. Two years later, in 1937, came the an even more valuable WPA project - development of Bayfront Park and construction of the Municipal Auditorium, and later, the Lido Beach Casino was opened. Work on the Manatee-Sarasota Airport was started in 1938. The airport became a military airfield during World War II, with 3,000 servicemen stationed there. The end of the war served to open the area even further through an ever expanding tourism industry.

Spectacular growth during the "Stunning Sixties" carried through well into the seventies. The recession in the late '70s resulted in tough times for some area businesses. Sarasota's Downtown was hit hardest with many of the existing stores closing their doors. However, in the late '80s and especially the early '90s the economy shifted and the Downtown began to prosper again. Sarasota now boasts one the finest Downtowns in the State of Florida.
