(SARASOTA COUNTY- Oct.
14, 2008)
Sarasota County and the
city
of Sarasota agreed to suspend negotiations
with
the Boston Red Sox over a possible relocation of their spring
training complex to Sarasota.
 The
county and city have been working cooperatively and in good
faith, unfortunately, the parties have not been able to reach an
agreement on the key terms and conditions for the project.
Current economic and credit market conditions have limited the
funding resources available for the development of the complex.
County and city officials cited the limited funding resources,
combined with the limited sources available for operations and
maintenance of the complex, as reasons for suspending the
negotiations.
The
county and city will continue to explore future options for
Payne Park and Ed Smith Field.
