New River Township Wants SportPlex USA Facility, Will Finance Entire Project, Offers Pasco County Range of Options
Wesley Chapel, Fla. --- New River Township on S.R. 54 in Wesley Chapel wants to host the new Pasco County SportsPlex county commissioners plan to develop and New River Partners, LP has offered to partner with Pasco County to finance the project.
“We propose to develop a new Pasco County SportsPlex at New River Township,” said Eric Marks, senior vice president at New River Partners. “We have offered Pasco County Commissioners a wide range of partnership proposals to choose from, up to and including full financing of the project,” he explained.
“We wanted to give Pasco County the best range of options to consider. We believe a public-private partnership will give Pasco County the opportunity to leverage its tourist tax dollars to benefit the entire county,” Marks said.
New River is an 1,800 acre community that will include 4,800 traditional-style homes, condominiums and town homes, a pedestrian-friendly Town Center Park that will be home to a variety of commercial, retail and service opportunities along with stores, restaurants, daycare and a medical center.
Marks said the New River Township site offers Pasco County its best SportsPlex location, with easy access to State Road 54, Interstate 75, and State Road 301 and US 41.
“New River Township is centrally located with frontage on State Road 54 and access to all major roads in Pasco County,” said Marks.
New River Partners LP is part of Avalon Park Group of Orlando.
In East Orlando, Avalon Park Group has financed and built everything from football bleachers to road projects to entire schools.
“We are a soundly financed, conservatively run development company that takes the long view to community development,” Marks said. “New River Township is planned as a community that will raise generations, not just families,” he said.
