✨💙 Sarasota Memorial is moving forward with plans to acquire approximately 120 acres of undeveloped land along the SR 64/I-75 corridor in Manatee County, a long-term investment to help meet the needs of our rapidly growing region.

With the four-county region expected to grow to nearly 1.8 million residents over the next 25 years, this investment gives SMH the flexibility to thoughtfully expand services in phases, based on community need.

💬 “County boundaries do not define where patients seek care,” said CEO David Verinder. “Our responsibility is to plan for the communities we already serve today and the communities we know will continue to grow tomorrow.”

Pending approvals from Manatee County officials and community leaders on rezoning and development, the first phase would include a freestanding emergency department on a 10-acre adjacent parcel. Future phases could include primary and specialty physician practices, pediatric specialty care, imaging, diagnostic and laboratory services, and other medical facilities to support a future full-service Manatee campus.

A longtime Ellenton landmark is preparing for a major transformation.

The Ellenton Ice and Sports Complex, located at 5309 29th Street East, is moving forward with a planned $7 million renovation and expansion designed to significantly upgrade both the facility and the visitor experience. Plans include a third NHL-size ice rink, with the new sheet of ice currently targeted for August 2027.

The two-year improvement project is also expected to bring an NHL-level dry-land training center, upgraded gym geared toward hockey and figure skating, new lobby, upstairs restaurant, video replay room, ice treadmill, AI-assisted practice technology, new locker rooms and updated restrooms. Outside, the property is planned to receive new paint, landscaping, asphalt and signage.

Owner Matt Smith told Tampa Bay Beacons the goal is to make the nearly 30-year-old complex one of Florida’s premier training facilities. The project was expected to enter permitting in September, followed by bidding once approvals are secured.

For Ellenton and North Manatee County, it’s another substantial investment in an established local destination rather than an entirely new development.
