Argus Foundation urges board to pursue new septic-to-sewer projects, as no funding for such work has been approved after the current fiscal year ends.

At the urging of a former county commissioner, the Sarasota County Commission has asked County Administrator Jonathan Lewis to ensure that the board’s first budget workshop of the year include a focus on funding for projects that would eliminate septic tank use in the county’s watersheds.

That budget workshop is set for March 29.
