Part I of Annual MeetingLOURDES RAMIREZ WILL SPEAK ON THE COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

There are area warriors fighting to defend against those who would amend the County’s Comprehensive Plan and bypass our inherent protections. One such warrior, is Lourdes Ramirez.

You may have seen her on the local news or read about her in the Herald Tribune and other news outlets. A resident of Sarasota county since 1999, with an MBA in Business Administration, she has championed the Sarasota County community on land-use concerns since 2001 and currently leads Protect Siesta Key, as well as serving as President of Siesta Key Community, Inc.

Though a majority of the Sarasota County Commission voted to proceed with the development of two mega-hotels on Siesta Key, (in direct violation of the Comprehensive Plan), Lourdes represented the organization that sued the county over these egregious decisions and won two litigations against them.

Join our January 11th Annual meeting to hear about how Lourdes accomplished this monumental feat and how similar threats could occur in virtually any Sarasota neighborhood. She will shed light on the significance of the COUNTY’S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN and offer suggestions on how to prepare our area should such a situation arise. 

Especially in light of Sarasota’s recent flooding, learning about the road map in place designed to protect us from these catastrophic events, is essential.
