If the promoters can pull this off, it’s not too crazy that our permanent erosion control and construction line on Anna Maria Island could be done away with.

These guys probably have a group of investors and connections with local state and federal governments.

Developer Carlos Beruff says this will be magnificent. Hundreds of people believe this will be a horrible mess. It’s a disgrace.
