The arts unify communities, strengthen the economy, improve academic performance, have social impact, improve individual well-being, drive tourism and revenue to local businesses, spark creativity and innovation, and improve mental health.
The Metropolitan, “The MET,” is a workforce-housing centered community in downtown Bradenton, created by a partnership between Pearl Homes, Barclay Group, and Framework Group. Awarded to The MET Team’s through a competitive bidding process in response to a request for proposals by the City of Bradenton’s Community Redevelopment Authority, The MET is part of the team’s vision to create a new urbanist, workforce community geared towards sustainable, modern living.
Platform is pleased to be a partner in this endeavor, along with Lakeland artist Gillian Fazio.
