County dedicates $34 million to wastewater projects

Commissioners have allocated nearly $34 million to implement public sewers in five manufactured housing communities around unincorporated Largo and Seminole. They unanimously approved several related agreements Aug. 13 that enable the county to own, operate and maintain the systems.
