"ECHO views this area as extremely valuable to the overall development of
central Pasco County, especially with the planned widening and improvements to
S.
"Most important in this overall development plan is that the site has
minimal environmental issues," Savin said, referring to the growing concern of
Pasco County residents about the rapid development taking place in other parts
of the county and the resulting impact on the rural environment. ECHO pursues development
with a commitment to creating value through immediate return as well as long-

The repeal ended the
federal requirement that states keep speed limits at a maximum of 65 miles per
hour (mph) in rural areas and 55 mph in urban areas. However, it appears these benefits have been offset both by

limits."
