Anderson Snow Master Plan

The Hernando County Planning Department, in partnership with a team from Florida State University (FSU), is working to develop a master plan for improving Anderson Snow Park, located at 1360 Anderson Snow Road in Spring Hill.

The Anderson Snow Master Plan will provide Hernando County with a path toward making the most of the park’s existing assets as well as upgrading and expanding it over time to achieve the community’s vision for the park.

Contact FSU Senior Planner Jeremy Crute at JPCrute@FSU.edu or Hernando County Senior Planner Michelle Miller at MLMiller@HernandoCounty.us for additional information on the master planning process.
