150 Acres of Redevelopment in Tampa's Urban Core

Leroy Moore of the Tampa Housing Authority breaks down the massive redevelopment reshaping the urban core, including Encore, West River, Rome Yard, and the full rebuild of Robles Park. We cover how 150 acres of public land is being converted into mixed income neighborhoods with thousands of new units, retail, parks, jobs, and long term community infrastructure. Leroy explains funding challenges, the push for density, the role of the private sector, how transportation ties into affordability, and why modern mixed income communities are replacing the old public housing model. A deep look at the future of Tampa and what these projects mean for the city’s growth.
