Recognizing this trend, the Pasco Economic Development Council, in partnership with Pasco County, has implemented the Pasco Ready Sites Program.

There is over 2,000 acres of land being actively marketed in the program. Each site features numerous digital tools for site selectors to utilize and tour the site.

The program has seen great success through the sale of 68 acres for an Amazon Robotic Sortation Center, at an impressive 1 million square feet and most recently Bauducco Foods, a Brazil-based food manufacturer, purchased 72 acres on the Zephyrhills Airport Industrial Park Ready Site and will create 600 jobs and invest $233 million.
