The City of Largo launched LarGoVote.com to encourage residents to learn what is on the local ballot for the General Election on November 8. From the sale of city property to the lease terms for Horizon West Bay, learn what the ballot language means and what the impacts may be. The City will also be providing presentations to interested groups of homeowners, non-profits, or other community organizations. If you would like to request a presentation for your group visit LarGoVote.com. 

The City of Largo’s Engineering Division regularly monitors roadway conditions to ensure the safety and sustainability of travel along local roads. In 2019, a City-wide pavement assessment was completed that indicated poor to serious conditions of roadways along Gladys Street in Southwest Largo. Construction is scheduled for fiscal year 2023 and proposed updates include complete roadway rehabilitation, curb ramp replacements, and consideration of traffic calming methods. The City’s project team will be launching a community survey in the late Summer/early Fall 2022 to residents of the neighborhoods surrounding Gladys Street to determine local priorities specifically about the proposed traffic calming methods. 

Over two dozen Largo campers took to the skies the week of July 25 as part of the City of Largo’s Drone Camp, held at the Largo Community Center.

The program teaches campers how to set up, program, and fly drones. While campers may be learning a great skill for their future, they are also getting to do something enjoyable as their summer breaks end.

“Drones are at the remarkable intersection of flight and technology, offering new possibilities for the aviation industry and our world,” said Liza Robuck, Business Development Associate with National Aviation Academy

A special thank you to National Aviation Academy and Valley National Bank for supporting this camp become a reality for 15 new drone enthusiasts.

Yoshi Smoot has played in the Wednesday afternoon golf league since July 2017 and just completed his 200^th round of golf. He is a local, full-time resident who also plays in the monthly Saturday Scramble at the Largo Golf Course. In the Wednesday League, we have many players like Yoshi who have completed 200 rounds of golf and even a couple who have completed 300 rounds of golf! We attribute this to the exceptional, consistent conditions of the Largo Golf Course, the manageability for all players due to the layout and size of the course and its staff who treat you as if you are family.
