The presentation of the proposed project was introduced by Debbie Marks of the CRA, and the Attorney for the project, Charles Hines. Jim Hanushek, Executive Director of the Playhouse provided additional background about the history of the Playhouse.
Janet Landis, President of the Board of Trustees presented the vision in her speech as she encouraged the Commissioners to "fast-forward" to the re-vitalized future of Englewood with the Playhouse in place.
Paul Burke, the Steering Committee Chair, presented the fundraising strategy, and the presentation culminated with Elaine Miller, the project architect, unveiling her design.
The design, which she coined as "techno-cracker" features an attractive blend of cutting edge sustainable technologies along with an attractive 'Old Florida' design. The Commissioners voted unanimously to approve the project. They raved about the design, and about the community spirit in Englewood.
On Tuesday, September 22, the County Commissioners of Sarasota honored the Pioneer Days volunteers. Commissioners praised work of the many volunteers who pulled together to ensure that the beloved town tradition did not die. Commissioner Staub presented the group with a Certificate of Recognition.
