Once
known primarily as a vacation or retirement destination, today's
Sarasota is home to diversity. A great year-round climate,
expanding employment opportunities, abundant leisure time
activities and excellent schools attract creative entrepreneurs,
skilled workers and professionals who want to thrive in a
community where life is fun. Almost half of Sarasota County's
population is in the prime working age range of 25 to 64.
Sarasota
County is located 60 miles south of Tampa and includes the
cities of Sarasota, Venice, North Port and the Town of Longboat
Key. With 35 miles
of pristine, white sand beaches, more than two hundred sunny
days per year, and an average year round temperature of 71°F,
it's no wonder why Sarasota was voted the "Best Small City" in 2000 and
"Best Places To Live" in 2001 by Money Magazine.
Whether you are looking for fine dining, unique shopping,
cultural events, or outdoor recreation, Sarasota County offers
something for everybody!
