NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. — The construction on Pasco County's Fire Station 17 off Seven Springs Boulevard has been at a standstill for years.
A contractor defaulted on a project in June 2021.
Since then, the county reached an agreement, and Blackwater Construction signed a new contract to complete the work.
County employees met with the company last week, and a notice to procure was issued.
A notice to proceed is expected in the coming weeks, officially allowing construction to begin. It's now expected to be complete in the late summer or early fall of 2024.
