Tampa, encompasses an area of 573 square miles and includes the cities of Sarasota, Venice and North Port, and the towns of Longboat Key and Englewood. The county's 573 square miles extend west from rustic
ranch land to the shores of the Gulf of Mexico and Sarasota Bay. With more than 35 miles of gulf beaches, most Sarasota County residents are within a 15-minute drive of the most spectacular white sand beaches
in the world. Sarasota, together with its neighbors to the north and south, Manatee County and Charlotte County, form the 7th-largest market in Florida. It is also Florida's third-fastest growing major market.

retail sales are almost 20% above the national average. It has a strong base of retirement age people; about a third of the population, but the fastest-growing segment of the market is middle-aged adults and their
