Update from Pasco County Commissioner

I hope you and your family had a great month of July! It is hard to believe we are already in last few weeks before school goes back into session. As always, I appreciate you taking the time to read these updates about all the exciting things happening in Pasco County.

On July 14th, I was honored to speak at the groundbreaking ceremony for downtown Avalon Park Wesley Chapel. Thank you to Beat Kahli and the entire Avalon Park team for partnering with Pasco County on this project. The future downtown will include Class A office space, commercial, and improve the infrastructure of the area to provide good jobs and a high quality of life for the residents. I am looking forward to seeing the future downtown Avalon Park Wesley Chapel!

The first week of August will bring another exciting national event to Pasco County in the U.S. Figure Skating National Showcase! This event will bring 400 figure skaters and their families from around the country to compete at Advent- Health Center Ice in Wesley Chapel! These skaters and their

families will stay in Pasco hotels, eat in Pasco restaurants, and shop in Pasco stores. This is another reason why we are known as Florida’s Sports Coast!

As summer comes to an end, I want to remind you the Florida Legislative has approved another back to school sales tax holiday. This year’s sales tax holiday runs from July 25th through August 7th. You can learn more at the Florida Department of Revenue’s website at floridarevenue.com.

Please check out Pasco County’s website at MyPasco.net for all the latest information. I hope you and your family have a wonderful and safe August!
