Revitalizing Seminole's Recreation Facilities: Pinellas County Seeks Public Input

[Luis Bedoya]

Pinellas County is on the cusp of enhancing youth sports and recreation facilities in the unincorporated Seminole area, and your input is vital! A proposed municipal service taxing unit (MSTU) aims to fund significant improvements and ensure the continued operation and maintenance of these essential community assets.

The Proposal: The Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners is considering the introduction of an MSTU, a special taxing district dedicated to funding neighborhood or community area improvements. This initiative specifically targets County-owned youth sports and recreation facilities in unincorporated Seminole, currently operated and maintained by independent non-profit youth sports organizations. The aim is to rejuvenate these spaces, making them more viable and beneficial for our young athletes and the community at large.

Public Participation: Your voice matters in this community-driven project. If you reside in the unincorporated part of Seminole, this is your opportunity to contribute to the future of local youth recreation facilities. The Board of County Commissioners is eagerly awaiting your feedback and insights before their public hearing scheduled for Dec. 12, 2023.
