Welcome to controlgrowth.com, the web site of GEO, the Growth-restraint and Environmental Organization. Since 1989, GEO has strived for strong and sensible growth management in Sarasota County and its cities.
Now, more than ever before, our community needs GEO and GEO needs you. The County Commission is pursuing a scheme to remove and reduce controls on growth throughout the rural and urban areas. They call it Sarasota 2050, so it doesn't sound immediate or County-wide. It will, however, have direct, extensive and severe consequences if adopted. Find out more by clicking on Sarasota 2050 News.
