The City of Sanibel's Planning Department is hosting a public workshop Tuesday evening as it gears up to review and update what's called the Sanibel Plan.

Broad community involvement is encouraged as the Sanibel Plan is an important, guiding document for current and future land use on the island.

Sanibel and other surrounding barrier islands took the brunt of Hurricane Ian last year. Now as Sanibel rebuilds, the planning department is exploring changes to the Sanibel Plan.

Following a one-hour presentation covering various aspects of the plan, participants can provide feedback to the City Planning Department.

  • Florida is one of the national leaders in drownings, with nearly 400 people dying every year from unintentional drowning. When it comes to rescue operations, every second matters.
  • As the federal government intensifies its immigration crackdown, the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office has emerged as one of the Suncoast’s most active partners with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In recent months, Sheriff Kurt Hoffman’s deputies have patrolled the Everglades immigration jail known as “Alligator Alcatraz” and shuttled immigrants between detention facilities in Florida, earning more than $280,000 in state funding for the work. Meanwhile, the number of ICE detainers — which keep people up to 48 hours past their release date for possible detention and deportation — have quadrupled this past year inside the already crowded county jail.
  • The Alliance for the Arts’ upcoming theater season will feature a dynamic mix of heartfelt comedies, thought-provoking dramas, and original works that spotlight the depth and diversity of Southwest Florida’s theatre community.
