Sarasota Chamber of Commerce updated investors on the progress of their Sarasota Tomorrow project. The chamber launched the project in 2008 to increase economic development throughout Sarasota.

Sarasota Chamber of Commerce President Steve Queior says one of the biggest challenges to future development is finding qualified workers. He told investors the chamber would continue to support efforts to encourage education throughout Sarasota. 

In addition to educational efforts, Queior said development of the Rosemary District will continue to be one of the chamber's primary goals.
