What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda
It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

Well today's the grand opening and the ribbon cutting for the Wiregrass Ranch Sports Camp campus of Pasco County.
One, two, three.
Well, this is a huge impact. Obviously, this is something we've been working on for a long time. And I want to put our TDT dollars to use. And again, TDT dollars are paid for by visitors that come to our hotel. So this facility was built 100% with those TDT dollars for people that came from outside the area. Not a dime from our local taxpayers here in Pasco County. So this hundred thousand square foot indoor facility is going to bring in Youth sports from all over the nation, if not over the world, to come here on the weekends. And when they come here, they're gonna bring their families,
they're gonna bring their spectators, they're gonna shop in our stores, they're gonna eat in our restaurants, they're gonna buy our gas, they're gonna stay in our hotels. It's gonna be a huge economic impact for our local community and our citizens here in the county.
It allows us to really position the county as a major player in the sporting world.
So we're basically coming in and our number one mission is to create an economic impact for Pasco County through events and tourism and secondary to provide programs for the local community through basketball, soccer, cheer, and volleyball, and then some other sports that we can add in after that. Also creating an academic portion to make sure our kids are academically set.
To get through high school. It's really a community-based facility. So our kids are going to grow up here knowing that this place is home. One thing I love about the campus is it's it's multifaceted. So there's so many things that you can do here outside of just sports. Every event that comes through the building,
they feel like this facility was made for them. I'm super excited. You know, also being the chair of the Tourism Development Council. This is something that's been on my radar for some time. Just ecstatic that it's happened.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah,
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
