Overview: In a recent meeting of the Pasco County Council, the most pressing topic discussed was the need for a centralized courthouse to address the area’s rapid growth and the resultant strain on court services.

A centralized complex was proposed to alleviate this stress and extend the life of these courthouses by 20 years. The conversation also emphasized the potential benefits for the public defender and state attorney’s offices, which could consolidate their operations into the centralized complex to achieve greater efficiency and economies of scale.
