Hurricane Milton damages Sarasota County Administration Center

Due to wind and water damage from Hurricane Milton, the Sarasota County Administration Center has been closed to the public, and employees have been relocated.

Numerous catastrophe response units and damage restoration vehicles are on site at 1660 Ringling Blvd. on Oct. 17 working on the building. A dumpster is filled with debris outside near a fallen tree, and hoses are being fed into the side of the structure.

The building was “extensively impacted by Hurricane Milton,” Sarasota County Director of Communications Jamie Carson says in a statement. “We’re working to remediate the building and assessing its future use.”
