Jobs & Economic Development
Pasco County will provide leadership and resources to attract and expand business opportunities through incentives, land use policy, transportation access, and economic development planning, intended to diversify and strengthen our economy; thereby creating job growth for decades to come.
The Key Intended Results by which the County will measure its success in this area include:
Industrial Growth - Increase the prime acreage of industrial-zoned, infrastructure-served sites in designated areas from 400 to 800 acres by 2015.
2010 Annual Report Status Update- Net increase of 140.4 acres in Fiscal Year 2010. In addition, Comprehensive Plan Amendments have been adopted to add industrial potential to the County, and there has been a restructuring of the Future Land Use Classification at the Western Hub and Gateway Hub. This will allow development of integrated communities with significant employment components.
Pasco County Jobs - Increase the number of jobs in target industry areas from 900 to 1,100 target industry jobs per year, for a total of 5,000 target jobs by 2015. Total office and industrial employment projected at 3,600 to 4,000 jobs per year, for 20,000 new jobs by 2015.
2010 Annual Report Status Update: This has been a period of significant economic stress, with unemployment rates continuing at an extraordinarily high level. 321 new jobs were created and 341 jobs retained through outreach from the Pasco Economic Development Council.
