Update from Pasco County Commissioner Seth Weightman

I hope you had lovely February!

I’m appreciative of the opportunity to provide these updates to you about what is happening around Pasco County.

February brought an exciting new attraction to our community in PopStroke. Founded by Greg Bartoli, the mini-golf course is designed by Tiger Woods’ design company to feel like a real golf course, but for putting. They also have a playground, restaurant and all ages and skill levels are welcome. Pasco County’s tourism office, Florida’s Sports Coast, welcomed PopStroke with a ribbon cutting ceremony. I’m grateful the PopStroke Team chose to invest in Pasco County!

On February 17th, I was honored to participate in the opening ceremony for the Cricket Council of USA and Tampa Cricket League President Cup Tournament at Wesley Chapel District Park. I was able to take a ceremonial at-bat. There were teams from Bermuda, Arkansas, Miami and elsewhere playing in the tournament. I welcomed them to our community and wished them the best of luck.

This column is a summary of what happens in a month, but there are always two County Commission meetings, an MPO meeting, committee meetings and much more. There is always something going on policy wise. You can view these meetings on Pasco County’s YouTube page, search Pasco County, Florida Government.

March will bring the start of the Florida Legislature’s annual session. This year, I’m looking forward to working with our delegation on a couple of key projects to improve safety for kids walking to school. Pasco County is fortunate to have a great delegation in Tallahassee. The Avalon Park area has two great members in Representative Randy Maggard and Senator Danny Burgess.
