Chat with the Mayor of Sarasota - Mayor Hagen Brody
There was much angst between the communities of Siesta Key and Lido Key Beach when the beach renourishment project began decades ago. Siesta Key worried they would lose some of the precious sand that made them the #1 Beach in America, according to Dr. Beach, Trip Advisor and so many others who worship the sugary, powdery white sand that is legend in its wide expanses between trees and shoreline. As it turned out, Siesta Key's beach gained sand instead of losing it, as did Lido Key's beach. Even though there were lawsuits that flied back and forth between Siesta Key and Lido Key, the story ended well, Sarasota's mayor eloquently describes.
