Lutz, Florida — Summer Martin is excited about her first day on the job at the Pasco Economic Development Council. “Pasco County has so many opportunities, and I am really looking forward to telling the Pasco story,” she said. “Nowhere else in Tampa Bay has as much room to grow--I think 2012 is going to be our year.”

To achieve this, we need great marketing talent. Summer Martin is a terrific addition to our team. She is already making a difference.”
