Seminole Heights Garden Club to get Community Investment Tax Projects

According to the Trib, some of the money from the CIT is going to be spent on the Seminole Heights Garden Center. What for and how much I do not know. I went to the City of Tampa Website to get more info, but details are not listed. Precise details are not available for how any of the money is going to be spent.


"Proposed CIT 5-year Plan Totals

Improvements are typically under $200,000 and include
playground equipment, fencing and other amenities at parks
and recreational facilities throughout Tampa.

Bond Issue Debt Service: $ 5 million
This will provide a sum of approximately $12 million for large
scale projects such as Cyrus Green Pool, New Tampa Community
Center, Seminole Garden Center, Ballast Point Pier & Ramp,
Cotanchobee Heroes Park, Wellswood Lighting, Bayshore
Balustrade, and New Tampa park projects.
