Pasco votes on Sportsplex USA project in Trinity & multiple use facility in Wesley Chapel

Well sports fans......Sportsplex USA informed the county that it had reconsidered its decision last month to withdraw from managing the proposed complex in Trinity and that it had found "common ground" to work with the county on the project.  Given this new information,  commissioners voted  4-1 for Sportsplex USA  to design and build a $11.5 million softball and baseball sports complex on county owned land in Trinity. County commissioners also voted to negotiate with Sportsplex USA to manage the facility.

Additionally, Commissioners  voted 5-0 to call for proposals to develop a multi-use athletics events center on Wesley Chapel acreage on the site previously designated for the (defunct)  Pasco National Tennis Center.  This site "could" be used for lacrosse tournaments and exhibition games by the Tampa Bay Rowdies soccer team.

Both sites would be funded with Pasco County tourist tax dollars.
