Tampa Adult Entertainment: Consultant recommends Pasco-owned property for proposed multisports complex
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009Starkey Ranch, which is close to the Trinity property, was ranked similarly on most of the factors except for one: Getting the site ready for construction would be costly, at least $1.4 million.
Concourse Center didn’t have any hotels within a 10-mile radius.
Pasco Town Centre needs internal roads and would require too many regulatory approvals.
Connerton had the least amount of nearby retail. Wiregrass, Engle Park and New River would come with “substantial” development costs.
Another plus for the Trinity site? Seven hotels with at least 50 rooms are located within 10 miles.
But it’s not likely that all the hotels listed near the Trinity property would be places that traveling youth sports teams would want to stay.
One of them is Valu-Lodge on U.S. 19 in New Port Richey, a motel that was featured in the Pasco Times earlier this year because of the high number of police calls — drugs, prostitution, theft — generated at the address.
