SEMINOLE HEIGHTS STRATEGIC BUSINESS PLAN
I've talked about some of these issues in prior posts.
NEIGHBORHOOD TOWN HALL MEETING TO DISCUSS PROPOSED
SEMINOLE HEIGHTS STRATEGIC BUSINESS PLAN
On Tuesday September 13th, 2005, at 6:30 p.m. at the Seminole Heights United Methodist Church on the southeast corner of Central and Hanna, there will be an open meeting to discuss the provisions of the proposed Seminole Heights Strategic Business Plan. The proposed plan is the result of meetings over the past year of the Seminole Heights Business Advisory Committee, made up of various area business owners and residents. If adopted, the plan will help guide future commercial development in Seminole Heights. A copy of the proposed plan can be found at http://oldseminoleheights.com/SEMHGTSBUSPLAN_committeedraft.pdf. Come to the meeting and learn about the efforts being made to improve Seminole Height's commercial corridors.
This meeting is being sponsored by OSHNA, SESHCA, SSHCA, the Seminole Heights Business Alliance and the Tampa/Hillsborough County Planning Commission.

Not to be so negative, but just keep in mind the businesses that helped create the plan are the same ones responsible for the current state of our neighborhood. (It's hard to blame them for moving a ratty business into a ratty area, but the area's not ratty anymore.) The question you should ask youself is, will the existing businesses find value in the sorts of changes the residents would like to see?
I believe that 90% of them won't. They chose Nebraska, or Hillsborough, or Florida, or Sigh for a reason, and one of those reasons wasn't attracting neighborhood business. If a clean storefront and walkable avenues were priorities to them, we'd already have those things.
Just a thought.
What Shawn said...
also- anyone have any skinny on how this went?
