City of Sarasota Undergoes Beautification Project Synthetic Turf International Facilitates Median Makeover

BSynthetic Turf Demonstration Site Sells Itself

January 10, 2007, Jupiter, FL—Synthetic Turf International (“STI”), an industry-leading supplier of premium putting greens and related synthetic surfaces, has facilitated a median beautification project for the City of Sarasota, Florida.  The project was completed in conjunction with STI distributor, Synthetic Turf of Sarasota.

The project, located in downtown Sarasota, was established as a demonstration test site for the City’s Department of Public Works.  Constructed of STI’s Kentucky Blue XP synthetic surface, the median showcases the inherent benefits of utilizing synthetic turf.  Irrigation and the resultant runoff which degrades asphalt are eliminated.  Synthetic turf requires no fertilizers or pesticides, thereby reducing the amount of pollutants reaching creeks, rivers and oceans.  Mowing and maintenance are also eliminated.  This decreases not only labor and maintenance costs, but also green waste, air and noise pollution.

Commenting on the project, STI President William Campbell states, “Municipalities are beginning to realize that synthetic turf, with its versatility and durability, is an economical option.  The savings in irrigation and maintenance costs is immeasurable.  From both economic and ecologic standpoints synthetic turf is by far the best value out there.”  Planning for additional City of Sarasota beautification projects is currently underway.
