The City Commission gave the go-ahead for the 280-unit Progress at University apartment development. Meanwhile the legal battle over Aventon apartments next door will go on at least through the spring.
From plans to incentivize affordable housing to the long-awaited reopening of the the Bobby Jones Golf Course, there is a lot of news in Sarasota on the way for 2023.
A 280-unit complex will sit directly beneath airplanes' path of descent at SRQ, but unlike the adjacent Aventon Sarasota, the airport cannot legally challenge its approval.
With Development Review Committee sign-off in hand, the 280-unit Progress University development now moves to the city Planning Board for approval. The airport-adjacent site was rezoned for apartments in 2011.
