Update from Pasco County Commissioner

I hope your family had a great September! Pasco County was fortunate to have minimal impacts from Hurricane Ian, although several thousand Pasco residents still do not have power as I write this. I’m proud of the efforts of the Pasco County Emergency Management team and county staff for their preparation. Teams from Pasco County are headed to the areas south of Tampa Bay to help with hurricane recovery.

As we look ahead past Hurricane Ian, hurricane season continues in October. Please make sure your family has a plan. You can learn more from the Pasco County Emergency Management Preparedness Guide online. It is available in both English and Spanish.

Congratulations to the Pasco Economic Development Council for another great annual awards event on September 8th. It is exciting to recognize so many local businesses, both big and small, for their efforts. As my time in office winds down, I am proud to have worked hard with Pasco EDC and County team to bring so many good quality jobs for our citizens over the last eight years.

On September 20th, I was honored to sponsor a resolution recognizing the Porter family of Wiregrass Ranch for their contributions to Pasco County. In 2013, Porter family donated the land to Pasco County that would later become the Wiregrass Ranch Sports Campus of Pasco County, a centerpiece of our tourism development strategy as Experience Florida’s Sports Coast. The picture with this column is me presenting a framed copy of the resolution to members of the Porter family.
