Sarasota targets $350K in failed incentives project

Sanborn Studios is dead, at least from a legal standpoint.

But that won't stop Sarasota County officials from planning to go after at least $350,000 from the now-defunct movie studio, where the founder, Ken Sanborn, failed to deliver on 117 jobs in return for the subsidies.

The county and Sanborn had been involved in a series of lawsuits and countersuits regarding the funds and failure to produce the jobs that spanned more than two years. Sarasota County Circuit Court Judge Rochelle Curley issued her final judgment in the case earlier this month.
