POWERED BY THE PENNY: Seminole County officials cut the ribbon this week on the new paved Sanlando Park Loop Trail. This ADA-accessible trail connects users to different parts of the park and the Seminole County Softball Complex, all under a shady tree canopy. This trail was funded by the One Cent Infrastructure Sales Tax, or Penny Sales Tax. The Penny Sales Tax is levied on the sale of consumer goods to visitors, residents and businesses, helping to fund local projects like park enhancements, stormwater system improvements, and new sidewalks and roads.

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS: October 1 marks 50 years since the Seminole County Fire Department was formed. Starting with just 56 personnel, the department faced a surge of calls in its first year alone. Today, half a century later, it's a thriving force of dedicated men and women committed to serving their community for the next 50 years and more. Join us in looking back at the department's origins and see just how far this dedicated group of people grew to become the department they are today. #SCFD50th
