Creating a More People-Friendly Area
A key goal of Love My Largo is to share designs for the future civic plaza at the Wayne K. Curry Administration Building and highlight upcoming roadway improvements along Lottsford Road in Largo. We envision future Largo as more people-friendly, with complete streets for different users, community building at the civic plaza, and art installations around a more centralized downtown area.
Promoting Future Projects and Planning Efforts
Amazing things are coming to Largo in the future and Love My Largo is all about building excitement for those projects and planning efforts! Specifically, the Civic Plaza project at Wayne K. Curry will begin breaking ground shortly after Love My Largo, and this event will also promote the goals and recommendations highlighted in the Downtown Largo Placemaking, Branding, and Wayfinding Strategy.
