Council Evening — May 28, 2026
Two areas downtown — one 4.33 acres near Ashley, Laurel, Tampa and North Tampa Streets, and one 0.28-acre pair on East Twiggs — are proposed as brownfield areas under state law. That designation unlocks cleanup liability protections and financial incentives, paving the way for redevelopment of contaminated or underused parcels. The final vote comes after a June 18 second hearing.
