Old West Tampa Neighborhood Selected for Special Super Bowl Community Project
Rebuilding Together Tampa Bay will rehab and repair several homes within an Old West Tampa neighborhood as part of the Super Bowl festivities.
Rebuilding Together's Kickoff to Rebuild is an NFL-sanctioned event for Super Bowl in 2009. This block party project will be a day of rehabilitation and renewal for local homeowners that do not have the means or ability to make the repairs themselves. All repairs will be free to the homeowners. Several NFL players, state and local officials, media and corporations will join Rebuilding Together leaders and volunteers for this project.
Rebuilding Together, working in conjunction with Hillsborough County, The City if Tampa, the West Tampa Chamber of Commerce and InTown Homes plan to bring about a significant community revitalization project in connection with the 2009 Super Bowl which includes the rehabilitation of several eligible residential structures in the heart of the Old West Tampa National Historic District, traffic flow improvements and the beautification of Howard and Armenia Avenues between I-275 and Columbus. This effort will focus on the rehabilitation of selected eligible residential structures in the heart of the Old West Tampa National Historic District and the planned traffic calming and beautification of Howard and Armenia Avenues between I-275 and Columbus.
The initial rehab target area will focus on Union, Chestnut, Spruce and Walnut between and adjacent to Howard and Armenia Avenues. This is also known as the former central business district of Historic West Tampa. All selected homes are homestead properties owned by income-eligible households. Rebuilding Together's commitment to improving homes in this area of West Tampa has created a rare opportunity to leverage a variety of efforts that could accomplish more than what any individual effort could accomplish on its own.
The priority of Rebuilding Together is to make all selected homes safer, healthier and more energy efficient. Rebuilding Together will also undertake to do exterior painting and landscaping. Selected homes will receive more intensive rehabilitation, subject to their condition and resources available to Rebuilding Together.
Tampa Fox 13 Station is the event media sponsor further highlighting the visibility of this project to revitalize Historic West Tampa and the work of event participants in this neighborhood.
