Specifically, THEA is actively exploring opportunities for a development partnership at the Subject Site with the aim to unlock the value and development potential of a strategic site in downtown Tampa. THEA will consider a partnership to develop the Subject Site that benefits both parties financially, as well as aligns with THEA’s following mission statement: 1. Community Focus. Prioritize community-centric enhancements that contribute to the public good, such as accessible green spaces, cultural hubs, and infrastructure that serves the local population, while also considering the sustainable economic viability of the site. 2. Connectivity. Strengthen connectivity to adjacent residential and commercial areas, leveraging the Subject Site's strategic central position to create seamless links with key neighborhoods including Water Street, Channelside, Gasworx, Ybor Harbor, and beyond, thereby fostering a more integrated urban fabric. 3. Transportation Initiatives. Support and integrate with THEA's major transportation initiatives including the Whiting Street PD&E Study, by considering the incorporation of elements from the Greenway master plan, enhancing Meridian Avenue, aligning with the Connected Vehicle (CV) Program, and potentially providing synergies with THEA's headquarters.
