Boasting great views of the Downtown skyline and convenient access to Tampa's urban job center, Ybor City and the Channel District, Central Park will soon be home to new residences, businesses opportunities and great recreational amenities. The long-anticipated Encore mixed-use development is now under construction thanks to a $38 million grant made available through the federal Neighborhood Stabilization Program, which is being used to construct new infrastructure. By blending the neighborhood's incredibly rich cultural history with the best principles of sustainable urban design, Encore's distinctive character will ignite the rebirth of the Central Park neighborhood.

The City of Tampa is actively seeking properties considered for development to include in their Brownfields Program. The City of Tampa has received $400,000 in assessment funding ($200,000 for hazardous substances and $200,000 for petroleum) through the EPA Brownfields Program.
