Top issues during term (8)(Development)
Hurricane recovery program performance and resident frustration
Residents like Richard Gossetti say they're just $1,329 over the threshold and face tearing down homes they improved for 13 years, with no county or federal money available to second-home owners.
New County Campus Concerns
Roughly $3.3 million a year in debt payments competing with property tax relief in the general fund.
Lake Tarpon restaurant development and neighborhood impacts
The site returns to the tax rolls; a private road's maintenance burden remains with four homeowners.
Lealman CRA growth and land acquisition
The Largo CRA could divert roughly $23 million in county tax increment over 20 years.
House Bill 803 permit revenue loss
$2.8M projected permit revenue reduction in the building services fund.
County permitting system delays
Pine Street Largo density increase denied
The site could yield up to 414 units with an affordable housing density bonus if redeveloped.
Downtown Clearwater government property sale
Sale proceeds could pay down bonds for the new county service center, potentially saving tens of millions in debt; leasing reduces upfront proceeds but preserves control.
