Masks are a simple, but critical tactic, in slowing the spread of COVID19. Team Largo members wear a mask for our community because we care about you. Before your next visit to a City facility, make sure to bring your mask to show those around you that you care. We are stronger together, Largo. Just spaced out a bit.

Largo Small Business Month was created by the Largo City Commission in order to create awareness of the impact local businesses have on the quality of life in the City. Largo's businesses contribute to the vibrancy of the community, keep money in the local economy, create jobs, offer important and essential services, and employ a diverse workforce. November is the City of Largo’s Small Business Month and this is an opportunity to celebrate the businesses that help make Largo the Community of Choice in Tampa Bay. This year, the City recognized two essential businesses and celebrated their service to the community. Check out this video to learn more about what Sunshine Ace Hardware and Minuteman Press are doing to serve their community.

The Draft Finding of Necessity for the Clearwater-Largo Road Community Redevelopment District, and associated supporting documentation is now available on the City's website for review. The Finding of Necessity study is the first step required to establish or modify the boundaries of a community redevelopment district. The City of Largo is currently working on a request to expand the redevelopment district that must be approved by the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners.

This draft report will first be presented to the City Commission for review and adoption in December 2020. If approved, the new District would have an eastern boundary located directly behind the commercial properties that align the Missouri Avenue east corridor. Once this has been accomplished, future phases will include a request for Delegation of Authority by the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners in order to establish a Redevelopment Plan and a tax increment financing overlay district to help fund infrastructure and other community improvements.
