Visit Sarasota County (VSC) will be relocating Sarasota County’s official Visitor Center to the offices of the Greater Sarasota County Chamber of Commerce offices located at 1945 Fruitville Rd. The Visitor Center, currently located at 1710 Main St., will close Aug. 18 in preparation for the move into the new location. The new location will be open to welcome visitors no later than October 1, 2017. The Chamber and VCS have enjoyed a long partnership, says Chamber President Kevin Cooper, calling this next step a “logical progression” allowing new and cooperative ways to promote the community and the Chamber. During the time of the move, VSC will continue to offer visitor services at the VSC welcome center desk at The Mall at University Town Center, the V.I.V. (Visitor Information Vehicle) that travels throughout the county attending tourist friendly events and at the World Rowing Championships at Nathan Benderson Park, where VSC will collaborate with the Bradenton Area Convention and Visitors Bureau and many chambers of commerce to host a Visitor Center from Sep. 23 through Oct. 1.
