Fowler Avenue Comprehensive Plan

Live, work or play near Fowler Avenue? Provide your input regarding the area’s future through the Fowler Avenue Vision Study. Fowler Avenue traverses through both Hillsborough County and City of Tampa jurisdictional boundaries, each subject to their respective regulations. This has created a development environment characterized by inconsistent development patterns along the corridor. Achieving a cohesive vision for the corridor requires the identification of policy gaps, acknowledging points of agreement, leveraging existing projects, and coordination between jurisdictions, in addition to significant community and stakeholder outreach. The resulting Comprehensive Vision Plan for the redevelopment of the East Fowler Avenue Corridor will paint a picture of the future that the corridor can grow into. Attend an in-person Open House event on December 13 or a virtual Open House event on December 14 to make your voice heard.
