In 1957, the Rosen Brothers and the Gulf America Corporation laid out a grand plan to develop the "Venice of America" on a little known peninsula once used for hunting and fishing. In early plans, Downtown was shown with a grid of streets, varying block sizes and parking lots, but no access to the waterfront. Forty years later, the need to provide additional businesses, stores, civic opportunities, and housing choices are still evident.
