• Old Tampa Police Department Site Community Redevelopment Area RFP (October 1999)
Request For Proposals Dated October 1999. In 1997 the City of Tampa moved the main police department to a renovated building near City Hall. The former police department, which was inadequate for current needs, has become surplus property. The City has recognized an opportunity to convert the former police department and surrounding property into an extension of Tampa’s urban renaissance. The site, which is located on the Hillsborough River, enjoys dynamic views and deep-water access. Several historic properties are located nearby. With renovated housing, transit and interstate access, this site and its surrounding area are well positioned to become a community cornerstone and a major gateway to Downtown Tampa. The Community Redevelopment Plan for the Area is designed to eliminate unsafe conditions and obsolete land uses, and provide a framework that will increase investor confidence in the renewal of the Area. As a result of redevelopment, the City’s tax base will be expanded, jobs and housing will be available in the Area, parks and open space improvements will be implemented and the environment will be enhanced to increase the enjoyment of Area residents and employees.
