2021 FRA AWARDS SPOTLIGHT: CULTURAL ENHANCEMENT
Congratulations to the Palmetto CRA for winning the 2021 Cultural Enhancement Award!

U.S. 41 travelers remembered Palmetto as the city with the iconic gift shop, marked by a large seahorse statute.

The Winters opened the gift shop in 1953 and operated it until 1976, when the Green Bridge was expanded, and the seahorse was razed. The Palmetto Community Redevelopment Agency commissioned Artist Ron Berman to “raise the seahorse” once again in Palmetto, enhancing
the City’s history and beauty.

This statue was installed on September 16, 2020

To learn more about these efforts, please watch the Cultural Enhancement Seahorse video.

Additional award winners along with the 2021 Best Book can be found here.
