There are at least 6 other locations in the City that would make great homes for the Orchestra, and not require stealing parkland and greenspace from the public.

If anything we need to invest more into our remaining parks not commercialize them.

Wrong site. Wrong to pave over our greenspace in the heart of our City. Just resist!

Sarasota Square mall is sitting almost empty. Huge empty Sears store and automotive shop could easily be utilized. Don't look at green spaces as development lots.

It is a gorgeous park, we need to stop all this taking over of our awesome open space. Cannot believe anyone wants to do this!

This park is for the people who have used it for the past 10 plus decades. There is nothing wrong with having an music center, but don't rob from peter to pay for paul. Take care of a music center, but leave payne park alone. It is a great park, don't mess it up.

One of the things we noticed when we moved to Florida were all the opportunities that residents had to enjoy the Great Outdoors, to celebrate the health and wellness that come when Nature can be enjoyed from anywhere within the county. Sure hope we don't become another "concrete jungle." Please leave the green spaces alone.

It's an outrageous idea created in secret which I vehemently oppose

Keep it green. Put it at the parking lot at 400 s orange avenue

We need all the open public park spaces we can get. And, with the new apartments being built on School Ave., this entire park is especially needed.

Save the park!!!! There’s a lot of development which I’m not complaining about. If someone donated land for the public good we should keep their wishes alive.
