Expansion brings engineering jobs to area

WESLEY CHAPEL — Engineering and project management firm UC Synergetic plans to grow its presence in Pasco County with a new 19,000-square-foot office and 25 new engineering jobs.

The Fort Mill, S.C.-based company, which already employs 80 people in the county, received assistance from the Pasco Economic Development Council that will help it expand its regional operations center in the ComPark 75 business park near Wesley Chapel.

"Pasco County's business community is growing along with our economy," says Pasco County Commission Chairman Mike Moore in a statement. "It makes sense UC Synergetic wants to expand in Pasco, they will have access to a great workforce."
