A Public-Private Partnership Focused on Results

Pasco EDC’s work is supported by a structure that brings together private-sector leadership and public-sector partnership. That structure gives the organization both strategic direction and practical reach.

The result is an economic development organization designed to serve companies, support existing employers, assist entrepreneurs, strengthen workforce connections, attract investment, and help Pasco County compete for opportunities that create long-term value.
