Tampa CRA The Tampa Community Redevelopment Agency supports neighborhood, investment, and quality of life in Tampa's 9 Community Redevelopment Areas
(213)

Historic Ybor City is an exotic blend of sights and sounds, with a rich history to explore during the day and a sizzling nightlife to experience after sundown. The vibrant community embraces its past to create a culture that is uniquely Ybor City. Cigar factories from the 1800s have been converted into business lofts, art galleries, restaurants, shops and more. For decades, Spanish, Italian, Cuban, German and Jewish immigrants made their living by working in the cigar factories that were the main economic source for the city. Their legacy continues in the historic brick buildings and architecture unlike any in Florida. Founded by Vicente Martinez-Ybor, Ybor City has enjoyed a rich culture for more than a century. Ybor City is one of only two neighborhoods in Florida to be designated a National Historic Landmark District.

Tampa CRA recently awarded the first Commercial Design Grant to West Tampa property owner Marvin Knight to help reimagine his vacant 1920 retail store into a tenant-ready space for new businesses at 2113 W. Main Street.

The grant will provide 100% funding for professional design, planning, consulting, and engineering services and permit-ready construction plans by Austin Construction Group, Inc.

Mr. Knight is pairing the Commercial Design Grant with CRA Commercial Exterior and Interior Grants to bring the designed improvements to life.

Tampa CRA created the Commercial Design Grant to help property owners overcome upfront development barriers for small‑to‑medium scale commercial projects and support high‑quality improvements that exceed City Code requirements.
