Friday, already? Another week has come and gone, and we’re back to break down more of Tampa’s proposed Fiscal Year 2025 budget.
Today we’re diving into Neighborhood and Community Affairs — basically the department that ensures your slice of Tampa runs smoothly.
A reminder: This is still just the proposed budget, so plans are subject to change.
- This year, the city is proposing ~$17.2 million for the department.
- The money will help the city maintain its enforcement of city ordinances, codes, and regulations. Think: Making sure issues like overgrown lots, abandoned cars, and piled up junk are dealt with.
- The budget will also fund the Mayor’s Neighborhood University program which trains current and budding neighborhood leaders on how the city works.
- The department plans to continue making community outreach efforts with meetings and special events.
- The city wants to continue its Operation Neighborhood Cleanup, ridding areas of trash, graffiti, and illegal dumping.
Let us know which part of Tampa’s budget we should tackle next.
