Capital and Debt

Like all other growing counties, Pasco is faced with the challenge of providing an ever-increasing number of services and facilities, while being sensitive to the reality of limited financial resources. This is even more relevant in the current economy as Pasco’s population has continued growing, but there is uncertainty in the future of current funding sources. The construction and improvement of streets and roads, recreation facilities, public safety facilities, and services must not only keep pace with the growing population but should also match the level of quality Pasco’s citizens have come to expect and appreciate. It is essential that the County have a comprehensive approach not only in planning for future assets, but also for maintaining and replacing its current inventory. A long-range plan for funding these expenditures is vital, as decisions about investments in these assets affect the availability and quality of most government services.

In order to plan for the future, County leaders must listen to what our citizens needs and wishes are to make the best decisions for the future based on data we have today. Review this section to see what may be coming to your neighborhood.
