Welcome!

CONA is a coalition that represents more than seventy neighborhood, condominium, homeowner, and civic associations plus individuals dedicated to working to protect neighborhood interests and to providing a voice for all of the neighborhoods in Sarasota County.

to make Sarasota County more neighborhood-friendly.
