Sarasota permits: $2.7M of work

SARASOTA -- A pair of interior renovations at local Target stores headline a list of new applications for commercial permits filed between Dec. 19 and Jan. 20, released by Sarasota County government this week.

Target expects to spend $900,000 to upgrade the interior of its store at 4271 S. Tamiami Trail, plus another $750,000 for its store at 8401 S. Tamiami Trail, records show.

Those two projects account for $1.65 million of the $2.65 million in construction value represented by applications to the county. Only projects with construction value of $100,000 or more are reported.
