Pine Avenue Restoration Project...
Buying Historic Anna Maria Island Homes and Turning Them into Places Suitable for Business.
There is a group of local Anna Maria Island residents and developers working to preserve the past, as they plan for the future of Anna Maria Island community.
Residents Jane Coleman said the island community's charm won her over, but when she noticed "For Sale" signs popping up and down along Pine Avenue, she worried that big development could move in.
"I've seen these incredible little villages and I've seen them go both ways," Coleman said. "I've seen them lost forever in such a way that they're lost forever, the character's lost forever and you can never get it back."
So Coleman, along with her husband, Michael, teamed up with other residents of the island to create the Pine Avenue restoration project. The group is buying historic homes and turning them into places suitable for business.
