Clark Road Development a Testament to Sound Planning - Fall/Winter 2001

 Sound planning by the county, developers and property owners has created an environment for quality commercial development along Clark Road.  Unlike Bee Ridge Road with its  narrow strip of commercially zoned land, Clark Road offers depth in zoning that provides area for parking, common access points and optimum traffic control.  The benefits include smoother traffic flow, more jobs, better services to the community and a more stable tax base.  Emerging along Clark Road these days are an auto dealership, surgical center and several office buildings.
