Hernando County has been one of the nation’s fastest growing counties over the past two decades. It is part of the 4-county Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area) meaning it shares close economic and commuter ties with Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas Counties to the south. Construction, health care, mining, electronics, and tourism fuel the county’s economy.
Hernando County covers 306,000 acres, stretching 37 miles east to west from the beautiful Gulf of Mexico on the west to the meandering Withlacoochee River on the east. It has a combination of natural beauty and economic growth, which has increased its population to 127,392 residents. There are three acute care hospitals comprising many jobs in the health care field. The going manufacturing base in the well-established industrial center is drawing companies to relocate to the rural, relaxed atmosphere of Hernando County.
