With its proximity to Tampa International Airport, major league sporting facilities, Hillsborough Community College, and the major commercial corridors of Hillsborough Avenue and Dale Mabry Highway, Drew Park’s locational advantages are helping build redevelopment progress. These advantages, along with Drew Park’s status as one of Tampa’s few remaining industrial and small business districts with relatively affordable land and industrial space, continue to attract new residents and businesses. The $25 million Air Cargo Road being constructed by the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority promises to accelerate this activity by greatly improving north-south accessibility through Drew Park. In the district’s residential section, Hillsborough Community College’s Dale Mabry campus opened their Hawks Landing student housing complex, and we are planning additional housing initiatives. Our long-term commitments to public safety enhancements, stormwater improvements and beautification efforts are also helping stimulate redevelopment momentum.
