PASCO COUNTY, FLORIDA (August 26, 2024): Pasco Economic Development Council (Pasco EDC) is working with CoVar Transportation as they grow their business in Pasco County, Florida. CoVar Transportation has leased 5,500 square feet in The Edison Suncoast and invested $20,000 in office furniture and equipment. The new Pasco County location will serve as their new central Florida headquarters. As the company celebrates 10 years in business this year, they are looking forward to doubling their current team of 18 over the next few years as they continue to grow.
“CoVar has expanded in Pasco County and has sufficient room to continue their rapid growth,” shared Bill Cronin, President/CEO, Pasco EDC. “Celebrating 10 years in business is a great milestone, and they already have three locations throughout the country, we are ecstatic they have chosen our community for their central Florida headquarters.”
CoVar is a third-party logistics provider that connects truck drivers to customers looking to move products. The company also acts as a pure-plate freight broker in the transportation sector. CoVar opened a location in Trinity, Florida in 2020 and has additional locations in DeKalb, Illinois and Phoenix, Arizona.
“When the time came to choose our newest headquarters in central Florida, there were key factors that could only be found in Pasco County, economic growth and development. Both of which are in abundant supply,” shared Collin Cole, CEO/Owner, CoVar Transportation. “We are honored to be a part of Pasco County’s ever-growing landscape and grateful to Pasco EDC for their support in the expansion of CoVar and look forward to continued partnership. CoVar’s new headquarters gives us the space to hire up to 45 people here locally as we continue to grow into the future.”
The company expanded in The Edison Suncoast, a speculative “Class A Office” development located at the SR 54 and Suncoast Parkway interchange. The Penny for Pasco backed project is serving Pasco County’s rapidly growing professional services and technology sectors. Three businesses now occupy over 35,000 square feet of The Edison Suncoast with additional space available to meet growing demand.
