Look closely and you’ll notice it’s not just the Tampa Bay History Center that is under construction near Garrison Channel. Work is also under way on the Cotanchobee Fort Brooke Park Project sandwiched between the history center and the existing Cotanchobee Fort Brooke Park.
The focal point will be Heroes Plaza, which will commemorate those who sacrificed their lives in war. In addition, there will be memorials to law enforcement and emergency response personnel who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
Project work will also include shoreline restoration and construction of a segment of the Tampa Riverwalk.
Projected completion date is early 2009 – but after the Super Bowl.
