The planned Pasco Town Centre mall at S.R. 52 and I-75 received unanimous approval by the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council.  This huge mall (2 million square feet) will house the Tampa Premium Outlets, (a designer outlet mall with 120 or so stores),  as well as large amounts of office and industrial space. * Located just a few miles north of the three planned malls in the Wesley Chapel area, it is reported that the project will generate over 11,000 jobs and $81 million in tax revenue for Pasco County.  The next hurdle for this mall's approval is in July when it is to go before the Pasco County Commission.Russ Perlowski:  Selling homes in Tampa, Land O Lakes, and Wesley Chapel, FL Source:  Chuin-Wei Yapp, St. Pete Times 06/14/2007

Bella Verde, located at S.R. 52 in San Antonio, FL is moving forward in its development.  Located on some 2,000 acres, plans include a golf course to be designed by Arnold Palmer.  This former Cannon Ranch property expects lots to be available in 2008.                                                                   01/20/2007
