What’s What New Port Richey
Maybe you want to be more involved or at least be more up-to-date with what’s going on with Pasco County Government. Here’s a special section to keep you informed about the activities of Pasco County Commissioners and other elected officials, who serve staggered four-year terms as the legislative and policy-making body in one of Florida’s fastest-growing counties.
You may want to keep up with their activities, attend a meeting, or review the agenda to see if what you, as a constituent, might want to weigh in on, or at least know more about. Much of the information provided comes through press releases submitted by Pasco County’s Media & Communications Department or from the Pasco County, Florida website.
Readers are encouraged to check out the Pasco County Commissioners Page to find info on who represents your district, their contact info, and more useful information for the members of the Pasco County community.
