TAMPA RIVERWALK TO RECEIVE $2 MILLION IN STATE FUNDING

The Tampa Heights Civic Association sent this bit in their latest newsletter:

We are pleased to inform you that The Tampa Riverwalk was granted $2 million in funding from the State of Florida when Gov. Crist signed the FY08 State budget last week. This is an exciting moment and a great step forward for the Riverwalk. The earmark will supplement the construction funding of the History Center Riverwalk segment and fund the design of Kennedy Plaza, the over water connection between Curtis Hixon Park and the Sheraton Tampa Riverwalk Hotel. Please share this wonderful news with your respective groups that you each represent. Thank you for your continued support of The Tampa Riverwalk!
