St. Armands Visioning Workshop II

A St. Armands Visioning Workshop was held on February 26, 2026 to discuss opportunities, concerns, and the long-term vision for the future of St. Armands Circle with community stakeholders. Attendees provided input through roundtable discussions and a visioning wall. The City has engaged independent facilitator Dr. David Brain to guide this visioning effort. The April workshop will begin with a brief introduction from Dr. Brain, followed by a summary of responses from the February workshop and additional details regarding ongoing and future projects.

Discussion topics are expected to include:

• Long-term strategies to protect natural assets, strengthen infrastructure, including discussion of potential future undergrounding of utilities, and identify opportunities to revitalize the St. Armands commercial area

• High-level stormwater, flood resilience, and drainage considerations, including coordination with Sarasota County

• Flood elevations and topographic considerations

This workshop is open to the public and intended for:

• St. Armands residents
