Top issues during term (20)

high↑Oct 2026[31]

Mathis Road paving for Kiddy Up Ranch

high→May 2026[31]

The affordable housing set-aside program would offer incentives like density bonuses and impact fee waivers to offset developer costs.

high↑Oct 2026[22]

$2.43 million in Penny for Pasco economic development funds over three years, mostly performance-based.

The additions would drive new traffic and infrastructure demands in southeast Pasco; fee and service impacts weren't quantified at this hearing.

high↑Jul 2026[17]

Kitten Trail Farms rezoning and rural character

Any farmland preservation program could cost serious county money, and there's no dedicated funding stream like the Penny for Pasco behind it.
