Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas and West Pasco Counties has been named a finalist by Pasco Economic Development Council (Pasco EDC) for its 35th Annual Awards. The Award program recognizes Pasco County companies’ outstanding achievements. The Pasco EDC Annual Awards Committee has interviewed all finalists and chosen winners in multiple categories recognizing those who have demonstrated innovation and exhibited community and economic impact in 2022.
