Aside from the 15 high-priority projects, Public Works says it has an additional 140 projects planned that will impact smaller areas of the county.

Public Works Director Jason Mickel is still accepting public input during the meeting where it will present the master plan.

“Citizen-specific information, something we have missed about a neighborhood or about a project or about water shed that maybe we weren’t aware of and the community can bring it to our attention,” said Mickel. “But mainly we want to inform people about what we are doing and let them know what path we are on.”

Tuesday night’s meeting will be held at the West Pasco Government Center, located at 8731 Citizens Dr. in New Port Richey.

A second meeting will be held next Tuesday night in Dade City for residents in the eastern part of the county. 

Public Works said it will present the master plan to county commissioners individually, before commissioners vote to adopt the plan.
