“Paula thought I was nuts,” Adams recalls. “‘You hate hospitals,’ she said. ‘You won’t even visit when we have friends in the hospital.’ My parents had died, and healthcare was not something I liked to hang around.”

After decades of talks, tri-county MPO merger inches closer

A metropolitan planning organization (MPO) merger consolidating Pinellas, Pasco and Hillsborough counties is inching closer to reality. The move would increase the region’s leverage when competing for federal and state transportation funding, particularly for large-scale projects that individual counties might struggle to secure on their own.

“We would be a mega MPO, and with that would come so much more opportunity for funding,” St. Petersburg City Council member Gina Driscoll said during a Friday meeting between representatives of each county.
