Why
a new center?
The Salvation Army currently operates four primary facilities, all located in very close proximity to the adopted Tampa Heights redevelopment plan.
The Salvation Army’s administration and Advisory Board commissioned a comprehensive Community Needs Assessment and Organizational Planning Study. The study results concluded that the existing social services and administrative facilities were inferior and inadequate. They will not accommodate anticipated growth and demand over the next several years.
The solution: To efficiently and effectively meet current and future needs in our community, and to accommodate explosive growth in programs and services offered by The Salvation Army, a newly remodeled facility at 1603 North Florida Avenue must be created.
Tampa Heights has an adventurous forward thinking spirit, and The Salvation Army’s plan to focus and consolidate their much needed service fits right in with the character of our neighborhood. Their plan is bright, creative, and needed.
