U.S. Route 41 Educational & Cultural Corridor Plan

U.S. Route 41 Educational & Cultural Corridor Plan

Sarasota, FL

Mr. Gross worked as part of a team led by Renaissance Planning Group on a plan for the revitalization of the U.S. route 41 Corridor north of Sarasota. This corridor had developed as a “motel row” for Sarasota during the heyday of Florida highway tourism, but today much of the land us vacant and some motels operate with illicit activities. The plan focused on the education and cultural anchors in the corridor (such as the Ringling School of Art) and examined ways to build on these anchors and create development nodes for revitalization. Mr. Gross provided real estate assessments and strategic input for the development of marketing concepts for the Corridor and its component nodes as part of a charrette process.
