Projets de la ville de Venise
Beaches in the City of Venice were last renourished in 2015. This project will renourish 3.2 miles of beaches, creating a sand berm to protect the city from storm surge, ensuring marine turtle nesting, and serving as an economic driver for tourism.

Infrastructure
The year-long Downtown Venice Beautification Project, completed in July 2019, reconstructed 14 blocks in downtown Venice. The entrance to the city’s core is now lined with breathtaking palms and other tropical, Florida-friendly plantings in the West Venice Avenue median and bordering sidewalks.
Culture
The $15 million Venice Performing Arts Center is home to the Venice Symphony, Venice Concert Band, Venice Chorale and numerous other performances throughout the year. Built through an interlocal agreement with Sarasota County Schools in 2014, it features seating for 1,070 and a 2,000-square-foot stage.
Parcs et loisirs
Rehabilitation of the Venice Municipal Fishing Pier, completed in August 2019, included removal and replacement of all the pier’s deck and railing material with longer-lasting, legally sourced ipe wood and replacement of pole lighting fixtures with sea turtle-friendly, under-handrail lights. New fish-cleaning stations, benches and trash receptacles were also added.

La sécurité publique
Acquired a new firetruck for the Venice Fire Department in 2017, which includes a memorial on the back to the 343 firefighters who died on 9/11. The Venice Police Department also procured 32 vehicles since 2015, both patrol and unmarked, including Tahoes, Tauruses, Explorer, a minivan, pickup and utility van.
Installed a security camera system with fixed cameras and fiber-optic cable in downtown Venice in late 2019, giving officials an ultra-wide angle view of the streets and Centennial Park to help keep residents and visitors safe. Security cameras have also been placed at the Airport Festival Grounds, the Venice Fishing Pier and South Jetty at Humphris Park.
