Following is a list of some of the projects that DJ Public Relations has provided public outreach and education support on in Florida:

Pasco County

• Orange Belt Trail PD&E Study and Trail Segmentation Plan – This is a proposed regional multi-use trail spanning approximately 37 miles through Pasco County. This project affects the entire county, as well as potential visitors to the trail. While a majority of residents support the addition of a trail to the county, there are some who have strong opinions on both where it should go, and whether or not it should be built at all. Public outreach efforts were extensive throughout the PD&E process.
• Moon Lake Forcemain Project, New Port Richey – The Moon Lake Forcemain Project was the design, permitting and construction of a 5.5 mile, 30-inch diameter pipeline through the Moon Lake area of New Port Richey, which included both business and residential units. Main Contractor: Florida Design Consultants
• Waters Edge Reclaimed Water Transmission Project, New Port Richey – The Waters Edge Reclaimed Water Transmission Project will supply residents and a golf course in the west central area of Pasco County with reclaimed water. It is jointly funded by Pasco County and the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD). Main Contractor: Florida Design Consultants
• Coastal Anclote Trail Project, Holiday – The new Coastal Anclote Trail is being constructed in Southeast Pasco County. It is a 12-foot wide, multi-use paved trail that will connect the planned Elfers Spur Trail Extension (Pinellas Trail) in Pinellas County to three parks in southeast Pasco (Anclote River Park, Anclote Gulf Park and Key Vista Nature park.) Its total length when completed will be 4.52 miles.
• Penny for Pasco Renewal Campaign (2012) – Pasco County, Florida passed a 10-year, 1-cent, Penny for Pasco sales tax referendum in 2004. Prior to its expiration, the Penny for Pasco Citizen’s Committee launched a campaign to educate residents on the Penny for Pasco and why it should be renewed for another 10 years. As the Campaign Coordinator for the campaign, I was responsible for the daily activities of the campaign.

Hillsborough County

• HART Arterial BRT Study –  The study’s goal is to obtain planning and design services for transportation infrastructure and improvements to improve local, street-level bus service along Florida, Nebraska and/or Fowler avenues and adjacent corridors, as well as corridors that intersect with these three corridors between the USF Tampa Campus and downtown Tampa. The study focuses on how rapid bus service can best meet the demand for existing bus riders, as well as transit users who may not have chosen to use this form of transportation before.
• Northwest Regional Water Reclamation Facility Expansion Project , Tampa – A $200 million expansion of the wastewater treatment facility in northwest Hillsborough County. Primary Consultant: Garney/Wharton-Smith
