Economic Stimulus Plan
In May 2008, Sarasota County residents voted to approve a
Local Economic Stimulus Plan to fast-track planned surtax
projects in order to create jobs and stimulate the local
economy. Also known as Penny-Wise, the Local Economic Stimulus
Plan is currently underway and will infuse an estimate $290
million into the economy over a three year period and create as
many as 2,000 jobs.
