RESURFACING OF SEMINOLE BLVD.
Beginning Monday, June 28, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will begin its resurfacing project of Seminole Boulevard, from 102nd Avenue North to East Bay Drive. The project should take approximately six months, with the goal to resurface all lanes of Seminole Boulevard and the turn out from side streets in the FDOT Right-of-Way.

CELEBRATE JUNETEENTH IN LARGO
Juneteenth events across the United States recognize June 19 as Freedom Day or Independence Day for enslaved persons, particularly African Americans, in U.S. history with the ratification of the 13th Amendment and the official message of the emancipation of all slaves. Join the community in honoring this history and celebrating efforts to continue to build unity across our community.

On Saturday, June 19, in recognition and celebration of Juneteenth, the Friends of Ridgecrest is hosting a 7:30am walk / bike ride along the Pinellas trail (starting at the YMCA of Greater Ridgecrest, located at 1801 119th St N, Largo, FL 33778) followed by an afternoon drive-through Fish Fry Fundraiser from 10am-2pm at the YMCA. Join with the community on Saturday and participate in the walk/bike ride or grab a fish fry for a suggested donation of $8. The event will also celebrate local 2021 graduates and is an opportunity to bring non-perishable items/canned goods to benefit community food pantries.
2021 BUSINESS OF PRIDE
Celebrate Pride Month with the local business community! Wednesday, June 23, 11am –12:30pm, the Tampa Bay Business Journal (TBBJ) will convene voice and ally honorees to participate in a moderated discussion about their advocacy and triumphs, as well as the work that needs continued urgency and focus.
Walk through McGough Nature Park with Largo Parks' 360° virtual tour! This interactive self-guided tour features our trails, the nature center, and a peek at the animals that call McGough home!
