Historic Preservation Grant — 1206 Manatee Avenue West
Description
A Tampa lawyer who loves rehabbing old buildings wants up to $300,000 in historic grant money over two years to turn the vacant 1905 Fuller-block building into ground-floor retail with offices above — a $3.4 million project. The board tabled it until November 18 after the city raised a parking-agreement issue.
Impact summary
If approved, this could be the anchor project for Old Main Street — reopening storefronts, adding street dining, and inspiring neighboring owners to invest in the block.
