Pasco commissioners address funding gap for parks, identifying need for sustainable financing. Costs rose from twenty-two to nearly five hundred fifty million dollars, rendering fees insufficient. To bridge this divide, the board considers a Municipal Service Tax for revenue. Commissioners support this despite potential tax increases to shield parks funding. Rising construction costs exacerbated by inflation strained capital project budgets. Stakeholders agree delaying funding risks reducing park capacity. Goal is creating a legacy of improved spaces through county’s growth.
