Pasco outlines $1.6B five‑year CIP and $417M five‑year transportation plan

Amy Farrell presented Pasco County's multi‑year capital priorities: a five‑year capital improvement plan (CIP) of approximately $1,600,000,000 and a separate five‑year transportation plan totaling about $417,000,000.

Farrell listed specific focuses within the CIP, including planned fire rescue stations 31 and 42, fleet generator replacements, parks land acquisitions using Penny for Pasco funds, and repair/replacement work at the waste‑to‑energy plant. She said transportation funding will support capacity projects, major bridge maintenance, multimodal pedestrian projects, safety and intersection improvements, signalization and roadway connections.

The board asked questions about project lists and funding sources; staff pointed commissioners to the detailed spreadsheets provided in the meeting packet and noted that certain projects are being held pending the county's "footlocker" prioritization and potential ballot outcomes.
