Executive Summary The Central Park/Ybor City Choice Neighborhoods Transformation Plan is built on a foundation of planning, funding and effort already invested or being put in place. The revitalization investment to date in Central Park/Ybor, a historic neighborhood adjacent to the Tampa CBD, has overwhelmingly been focused on construction of infrastructure, housing and businesses. This is beginning to yield tangible results for the community at large. Yet, despite service provisions to relocated Central Park public housing residents funded by the THA and its partners over the past 5 years, a much smaller focus has been on efforts to support assisted housing and other low income residents take advantage of the expanding opportunities which now exist. Today, the I-4 expressway overpasses which cut through the heart of the neighborhoods have been rebuilt to be substantially less obtrusive. Major employers including GTE Federal Credit Union (one of the nation’s 50 largest credit unions) and KForce (the nation’s 2nd largest temporary employment service) have built headquarters in the neighborhood; Ikea has opened a 350,000 square foot store; Hillsborough Community College (HCC) continues to expand its Ybor campus to where growth is limited by not having land to build new facilities; and the once distressed 483 unit Central Park public housing property is well on its way to being transformed into the mixed use Encore development with 98% of infrastructure complete, 160 units nearing completion, and an additional 262 units with construction to begin within the next six months. Yet major challenges continue to exist, and the Transformation Plan from this point forward is oriented to mitigating or largely substantially eliminating these challenges in the future. The Plan for the next five years includes the following: • Housing – Continued development of 422 units in three buildings under construction or for which funding already has been identified at the Encore; and the construction of 203 Tampa FL FY2012 Central Park/Ybor Choice Neighborhood Page 1 of 95 units of mixed income family housing partially funded by Choice Neighborhoods in the Tempo property; • People – A dramatic increase and focus of Choice Neighborhood
