Attention Grove City Stakeholders

Related Projects (new information 11/06)

A special “thank you” to all of the “Grove City” and “South Gulf Cove” stakeholders who have participated in “Scenic Highway” eligibility activities. For those of you who are not familiar with this project…I offer the following overview and a link to the affiliated websites…
Citizens, county representatives, and other interested individuals formed the Corridor Advocacy Group (CAG) in 2005 and have been working towards a “Scenic Highway” designation for the entire length of the SR 776 Corridor as well as the “Cape Haze Loop” (CR 771 and CR 775) and the “Old Englewood Loop” (West Dearborn Street and Old Englewood Road).
Over 50 “intrinsic resources” with varied cultural, recreational, historic, and natural features have been identified and mapped for inclusion in the eligibility application. “Check Out” the links below to learn more about the incredible resources both Charlotte and Sarasota County have to offer.
We look forward to working with all of our stakeholders along the corridor, especially as we move into the planning and implementation phases of this designation. Partnerships between community groups (such as Civic Associations, Homeowner Groups, Private Businesses and Non-Profits) the Corridor Advocacy Group (CAG) and the Counties will open up a realm of grant opportunities to benefit established communities and other interests along the “Scenic” Corridors.
We shall be speaking with you soon!
