Pasco County’s prospects are bright
Ian Anderson, market president and publisher of the Tampa Bay Business Journal, talked about Pasco County’s prospects recently during The Greater Dade City Chamber of Commerce November Business Breakfast at Scotland Yards, according to a chamber news release.
Anderson talked about the impact of population influx to the Tampa Bay market, as this area is growing, while many northern markets are losing population and tax base. Pasco County is especially well-poised for managed growth and development with our proximity to Tampa, the beaches, the Tampa International Airport and employment centers, according to the chamber’s release.
The First National Bank of Pasco sponsored the event.
The Dade City chamber has monthly business breakfasts the third Tuesday of each month, featuring knowledgeable speakers. The breakfast also provides opportunities for networking and business leads.
