Penny For Pasco - Your Penny at WorkPenny for Pasco

The Pasco County Board of County Commissioners is fully supportive of Pasco EDC and the SMARTstart Program which provide the programs and resources Pasco County small businesses and entrepreneurs need for success.

Recognizing the role of the many organizations that provide assistance and business resources to the community, the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners approved a proposal to continue and augment these programs with Penny for Pasco funds.

The funds had an immediate impact.  They provided means to expand programming, added capital to the Microloan fund, and increased the number of CO.STARTERS sessions that can be offered.
