SARASOTA COUNTY — When Sarasota County Commissioner Jon Thaxton’s final term comes to an end in about six weeks, he will become the Gulf Coast Community Foundation’s director of community investment, the organization announced this week.
“I’m looking at this as not only for an opportunity for myself, but my heart is also in local affairs,” Thaxton, 54, said Thursday. “I really think I still have something I want to offer to this community and make it a better place. This gives me the chance to do that.”
