East Tampa Community Redevelopment Area

East Tampa is ideally situated between Downtown, the Port of Tampa and the University of South Florida and offers convenient access to three interstates and Tampa International Airport. The community continues to attract private investment throughout the 7.5 square-mile area, especially along Hillsborough Avenue.  The City remains committed to investing in significant public safety, aesthetic and infrastructure projects.

East Tampa Residential Tree Trimming Grant Program

The East Tampa Community Redevelopment Area is now offering a new Tree Trimming Grant Program to help residential property owners and  tenants improve the safety of their homes and property.   The purpose of the program is to assist residents in addressing overgrown and unsafe trees before storms and winds create a hazard.    Eligible applicants can apply for up to $2,500 for trimming trees on private single-family residential property.

For more information, please contact Marcus Marks at (813) 242-3808 or e-mail at Marcus.Marks@tampagov.net.
