Planning Commission Seeks Citizen Input on Changes to Tampa Comprehensive Plan
The Hillsborough County City-County Planning Commission is in the final stages of updating the Tampa Comprehensive Plan entitled "Building Our Legacy, A Livable Community". In a major effort to educate citizens on the newly revamped comprehensive plan and also give them the opportunity to comment on proposed changes, Planning Commission staff will hold two "Open House Dates" in May. Citizen comments will be reviewed and incorporated prior to a series of public hearings to formally adopt changes to the comprehensive plan. The draft plan can be found at www.plan2025.org
Open House dates have been scheduled from 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. at two locations to gather citizen input. Residents from the City of Tampa are invited to attend the open house most convenient to them.
Thursday, May 1 West Tampa Library
2312 Union St. Tampa, FL
Tuesday, May 6 College Hill Library
2607 E. MLK Blvd. Tampa, FL
"Participation in open houses will ensure that proposed changes to the comprehensive plan are exactly what citizens articulated during the Plan 2025 workshops held in 2003," remarked Planning Commission Executive Director Robert B. Hunter, FAICP. "It’s tremendously important that citizens express to what they desire for the future of Tampa."
