Drew Park's close proximity to Tampa International Airport, Hillsborough Community College, professional sports and recreational facilities, and major employers, ideally positions the area for redevelopment activity. As one of the few remaining areas within Tampa with relatively affordable industrial land and space, the area continues to attract new residents and businesses. The new Air Cargo Road provides a critical north/south transportation corridor and enhances the visibility and attractiveness of the community. Capital improvement projects and workforce housing development initiatives, together with planned park and streetscape improvements are keeping redevelopment momentum moving forward.



Drew Park Streetscape & Beautification Plan

A Streetscape & Beautification Plan has been developed to improve the aesthetic conditions of the streets and public rights-of-way throughout Drew Park. Click on the title above or pictures below to see more about the plan.
