COTEE RIVER BIKE FEST | Page 14

As the New City Manager and on behalf of the City of New Port Richey, we’d like to welcome the Cotee River Bike FestSM. With spacious Sims Park on the banks of the Cotee River and tall Oaks covered in Spanish moss, New Port Richey is the perfect ‘Old Florida’ setting. There’s plenty of free parking, so you can throw down your kickstand, relax, visit and meet with biker friends. Much is happening in New Port Richey, the Hacienda Hotel is in the beginning phase of a million dollar renovation. For the many bikers that are entrepreneurs, there is an 11,000 sq. ft. Smartstart Business Incubator right on Orange Lake. But most importantly, are the downtown restaurants, businesses and bars that work together to make this great event happen. We encourage you to be safe and spend time at their establishments. We have worked hard to create a fun and safe environment and would like to thank the West Pasco Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Businesses, Bike Fest Committee and Volunteers. Throughout the year there is always something happening in downtown New Port Richey. There’s a strong sense of community spirit and pride. We welcome you to our comfortable city.
