Anna Maria Island Community Center

  • The project scope is to design a community center for Anna Maria Island in Florida.

  • On Monday, February 27 1978 Goldfinger volunteers his services at a morning meeting of interested residents and outgoing center Director Jack Meyers and new Director Joe Kane. “This is just what we’ve been needing. We’ve reached a point where we need something on paper, so officials and the public can see for themselves. Now we can proceed to the next stop,” says Jack Meyers.

  • The proposed design is unveiled on April 20, 1978.

  • The project remains unbuilt.
