We need your help today, right away!
Friends,
You may have read in the paper that the Water Management District delayed affirming the land swap that we’d been working on for two years. You may not know that it was district staff who initiated discussions on the land swap.
There are three important things you need to know about this:
- The West Pasco Audubon Society supports the land swap and has for two years.
- Our project is a green development. We have community support and we plan to be good neighbors. When we met with the Gulf Coast Conservancy they asked us to take special steps to protect the bears and wildlife and we agreed, but their goal is simply “no growth.”
Some people have claimed that without the development the environment will be better off. SunWest is an active mine site with NO requirement for reclamation. We can keep mining, but we think that the SunWest Harbourtowne is a better way to preserve large areas of coast.
We can protect the environment and add to economic opportunity. In fact, we are.
Please email our legislative delegation, Pasco County Commissioners and Dave Moore, Executive Director of the Southwest Florida Water Management District, and tell them:
- You support the SunWest Harbourtowne project
- You support the land swap
- You believe that both are in the best interest of the environment and the community.
– Robert Carpenter, Project Manager

From quarry to community, Sun West Mine to SunWest Harbourtowne.
SunWest Harbourtowne is a community planned to embrace the unique environment and natural beauty that comes with its location on the Gulf of Mexico. Located just south of the small fishing town of Aripeka in Pasco County, SunWest Harbourtowne will blend residential living and world-class resort amenities with the natural resources that make the area so special.
SunWest Harbourtowne’s developers, SunWest Acquisition Corporation, is proud of the work that’s been accomplished in planning — especially the partnerships we’ve made with state and local agencies. Our goal is to design a sustainable community. We are especially proud of the proposed county park and the canal to allow deep-water boat access to the Gulf of Mexico. Both are valuable additions to the quality of life in northwest Pasco County.
This Web site will provide visitors with our preliminary plans, including a proposed timeline and how we’re working to ensure we respect the environment and add value to the community.
We hope you bookmark this site to monitor our progress.
