07/14/11 Ballantrae hydroseeding may be instructive to all Pasco communities
The Ballantrae CDD is hydroseeding about 2.5 acres of community lawns with Argentine Bahai at a cost of 12 cents per square foot, versus re-sodding with the same grass which costs 50 cents per square foot. Even with the need to irrigate hydroseed for 30 days until it germinates and starts to grow, the CDD expects hydroseeding to save about $35,000 versus re-sodding. This cheaper approach to maintaining Florida-friendly landscaping has the strong support of the Pasco County Cooperative Extension Service, which was involved in its planning.

05/18/11 PACA works for benefit of homeowners and county
T. Rowe Price says its expansion into Pasco County will be delayed by the same economic factors slowing business growth across the nation, the Times reported on May 14. Most readers probably agree with Price officials that their announcement was not surprising. What might be a bit surprising to some is the audience the company selected to publicly update its development plans, and to candidly answer homeowner questions about them. As Times staff writer Lisa Buie reported, "PACA is the first public group T. Rowe Price officials have visited." PACA is the acronym for the Pasco Alliance of Community Associations.
