Hernando County

With a grant from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, federal funding from the American Rescue Plan and money from Hernando County, the plan is to move hundreds of homes from septic to the county's sewage system.

The majority of the half-cent tax would be spent on improving transportation infrastructure in the county, with the rest going to expand and maintain parks and recreation areas.

The school board says the tax is essential to help plan and allot money for new schools as more housing is built — and an influx of people move into the area.

The 13-mile stretch opened on Monday. It will also include an extension of the Suncoast Trail.

Among the main infrastructure issues Hernando wants to address: Building elevation and coastline preservation.

Florida Job Growth Grant Fund money will be used to build a new facility on the campus of Pasco-Hernando State College.

Hernando County hopes the designation will curtail the degradation of the natural resource.
