ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to develop a long-range
educational plan for the future development and expansion of the
current program and facilities of Pasco-Hernando Community College.
An analysis has been made of available data and related information
as a basis for the preparation of a generalized plan to guide the
future development of the college. This report includes information
about the county areas, provides estimates of the enrollment
potential of the college, projects the scope of the instructional
program and its supporting services, discusses guidelines for the
development of the organization and administration of the college,
provides an estimate of future financial needs, and projects future
site requirements and space needs for specific developmental rhases
of the college for the long-range future. (Author)

responsible for public and private utilities. As a result of this rapid development, 56 percent of the county's population was located on the western side of
the county in an area covering approximately
one-third of the county's 742 square miles,

and the majority of these were located
within the boundaries of two coastal town-

metropolitan centers of Tampa and St.
Petersburg. During the decade from 1920-

1930, the population increased by less
than 2,000 people, from 8,802 to 10,574.

The population increased by 300 persons per
year during the 1930's and only by 350

to 36,783, and the stage was set for a

growth phenomenon that catapulted Pasco
into the ranks of the fastest growing

counties in the nation.
