The Manatee County Port Authority has announced its plans to host on October 22nd workshop that will provide information on – and gather public input for – an update being prepared for the port’s master plan .
The workshop is slated to be held from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the Port Manatee Intermodal Center in Palmetto. Because the building is on port property, those attending are asked to bring a driver’s license or other valid government-issued photo ID to the access control center at Port Manatee’s north gate.
“ We encourage and welcome input and ideas as the process of updating Port Manatee’s master plan moves forward ,” said Carlos Buqueras, Port Manatee’s executive director . “ The updated plan will identify growth opportunities and help set the course for the future success of Manatee County’s regional seaport.”
The update is being undertaken to develop a five-year capital improvement program and 10-year strategic maintenance and expansion plan for Port Manatee, as well as propose a development program for multiple economic development encouragement areas in the port’s vicinity. The update is proceeding in accordance with Florida statutory requirements.
