Creating Great Communities for All
The American Planning Association (APA) provides leadership in the development of vital communities for all by advocating excellence in planning, promoting education and resident empowerment, and providing our members with the tools and support necessary to ethically meet the challenges of growth and change.
The Sun Coast Section is a division of the Florida Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA FL) spanning the Gulf Coast counties of Citrus, Hernando, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, and Sarasota. We are composed of local planners, architects, city and county officials, and others interested in the planning profession. Our goal is to support the planning profession within the Sun Coast region by providing our diverse membership with a wide range of professional development, networking, and other opportunities.
