UPDATE
Because as we go through these lag times of information for Sun West Harbortowne, I will try and keep you updated as much as possible on the current events.
From what I understand, it appears that SunWest is almost through all the Planning Process. Next will be Permitting. I also was informed last night that you may start seeing some action near the golf course in the next few weeks.
Everyone is looking forward to this project as it continues to be a Hot Topic in the area. People are already looking forward to purchasing brand new units in SunWest upon the completeion of the first phase.
Although in it's infancy, if you do a drive by you can see it taking shape. The water is absolutely beautiful and makes you feel like your in some tropic resort down south...perhaps the Keys!!!
Even though this is just my opinion, I expect when this is done to be a destination that many people will be wanting to visit, thus putting Pasco on the map and SunWest Harbortowne. I'll do my best to keep you informed as we continue to grow.
IS GOT JOBS? JUST A SLOGAN? AS SUNWEST HARBOURTOWNE GETS
FINAL APPROVAL BY PASCO COMMISSION Yesterday I had the opportunity to set in on the County Commissions meeting about SunWest Harbourtowne. Although I had been there several times before, I understood this was the final stage for approval for this waterfront, first-class community. But never did I expect t to see the amount of men at women that walked into the County Commission Meeting wearing white T-Shirts with big bold red words that said “Got Jobs”? I definitely think they got the point across! Pasco County sits at almost 14% unemployment Rate with Hernando close to 16%. Jobs in this area are needed as companies continue to fold the doors or to relocate. SunWest is sure to bring in a tremendous amount of jobs, not only for this construction, but also for the surrounding areas future growth. Changes made by the Pasco Commission will finally pave the way for approximately 2,500 new homes in the most north-western part of Pasco County and bring us plenty of jobs for years to come. Although, environmentalist are saying that they may fight this in court. Being a Realtor in the Area has given me insight on this project that I normally would not have, if it had not been so close to my residence. SunWest has spoken personally to area citizens, with many behind this project. With this being said you can just imagine the impact that this will have on Hudson and the surrounding area. Hudson has one of the areas Gulf Beaches, Hudson Beach should be a prime locations. SunWest Harbourtowne is slated for completion by 2020. In addition to the homes, this project will include 250,000 square feet of retail space; know as Marina Village, a 250 room resort and 500 boat slips. Not to mention the Park, Marina, 18 hole Championship Golf Course and so much more! Katie Creek

COMING SOON: SUNWEST HARBOURTOWNE???It's been years in the making. I can't even begin to tell you when I heard the first the "secret" about what was coming to PASCO COUNTY and espectially my community. But I can tell you this, it has been a long time coming and Pasco very much deserves the change, and chance to make itself know. This is to be a destination, not just for Pasco county residents but for people that live anywhere close to the Central part of Florida. If SunWest HarbourTowne Gets the go ahead in the next few months you will be see an influx of vehicles, jobs, and progress. Something that we are all desperately in need of right now. With that being said, let me tell you a little about the Community and the Water where this is located. SunWest Mines (as it is has been called) has been a mining area for more than 50 years. Located in the most North-Western parts of Pasco County from U.S. 19 to beyond Old Dixie Highway (a dirt road) in this vicinity. Many of the roads that we drive on today came from the Limestone mined by this company. As a result of this mining there are now 13 fresh water lakes of various sizes that are located on this property. As you can imagine over the years and the mining that was done on this property it obviously reshaped the natural enviroment including the 13 lakes and their size. Realizing this Sunwest Harbortowne began working on a plan that woud blend the present physical features with the site's resourses to create a unique water front community. Plans for SunWest Harbourtowne will include a:
* Hotel, with a Conference Center and Health Spa
* Marina Villiage Shopping Center
* Marina for your boat
* Championship Golf Course
* Hotel with approximately 2500 units
* A County Park, on the fresh water lake with a beach
* Conservation Area
* Deep Water boat access
* Walking Trails
* Picnic Area & Shelters
* Manatee Observation Tower
* Parking for 250 boat trailers and cars Please remember that many of these are proposed and are still pending but I am hoping that Pasco County will continue to move forward on this Project, unlike the project that was slated for downtown New Port Richey where still shells of buildings still stand. On a personal note to all of this, we all know what opinions are made of, and mine is just that. Because I live so close to this area I have had a chance to see the actual changes going on. There are many people that do not want this area to change because they are worried about the effect that it would have on our black bear. SunWest Harbourtowne can develop and still protect the quality of our wildlife. (This includes protecting and making space for wildlife). SunWest HarbourTowne has taken everything into consideration. They have already taken steps to reassure that the eagles nests that are currently in place, will stay in place, and that this is done correctly and not hasardly. They are striving to assure that we can live in harmony with our wildlife and at the same time preserve our lands for future generations while giving them an opportunity to enjoy the area and wildlife that lives there. With that being said, there is only one more comment that I personally would like to make and that is: WAY TO GO PASCO!!! Katie Creek
