Wellen Park®, in partnership with SRQ MEDIA, produces Wellen Park Living, a quarterly glossy magazine publication celebrating the Wellen Park community. SRQ MEDIA is a hyper-local media engagement company that is deeply embedded in the Sarasota-Bradenton area. I am very excited about the momentum this magazine will provide all of us, from the special events and farmers markets of Downtown Wellen and beyond. Each issue will include a dedicated special section featuring Wellen Park home builders, as well as an intentional storytelling strategy designed to capture the sense of place we are all helping to create.
