Sarasota EDC wants to hear from area businesses post-Milton

As businesses begin the process of recovering from Hurricane Milton, the Economic Development Corp. of Sarasota County is offering to help. 

“We are here to support you after the storm,” Erin Silk, CEO and president of the EDC, says in a statement. “Restoring your business operations is our top priority, and we are committed to assisting you through this challenging time.”

Silk, whose organization helps support the local economy through a public-private partnership, sent a message to area businesses ahead of the storm letting them know that the agency would be a member of their recovery team.

To help support them, the EDC has three questions for business owners:

• Have you been affected by the storm?
• When do you anticipate reopening?
• What resources do you require to resume your business operations?

Businesses can email their responses to [email protected] or call 941-309-1200 to provide this information.
