New Tampa Cultural Arts Center

Project Number

Description

Hillsborough County is soliciting for a Public Private Partnership (P3) for the development of the New Tampa Community Park at a 13.4- acre County-owned property located on the Northwest side of Bruce B. Downs Boulevard, west of Hunter’s Green Boulevard in the New Tampa area of Hillsborough County. The property is designated as “New Tampa Community Park” for a future park/cultural center.

The County has not established funding or a budget for the development of the property. The intent is to seek creative and competitive proposals for a Public-Private Partnership (P3) through this solicitation and to enter into a P3 agreement whereby the County will make available the vacant parcel of property fronting on Bruce B. Downs Boulevard for possible commercial development in conjunction with a park/cultural center/community center. The developer will fund, design and construct the development to the extent it deems feasible for a viable, marketable development, while meeting the needs of the citizens of the community and providing equal value to the County in exchange for the property.
