Pasco gives Trinity reprieve

Pasco County commissioners granted an extension to the developer of Trinity Town Center to continue the project, which had faced demolition after being incomplete for so long.

Bill Planes, who also owns South Capital Construction, was given various deadlines between Dec. 20 and June 1 to clean up debris and finish buildings on the site at Trinity Boulevard and Little Road. He was also given up to two years to pay $35,000 in fees owed to the county for permit extensions, but also owes $286,000 in property taxes over the last three years.
