City of Tampa to Host Virtual Townhall on Hurricane Recovery & Rebuilding

The City of Tampa is taking a proactive approach to assist residents affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton by hosting a virtual townhall on November 1 at 11 a. m. This important event will feature a panel of experts, including Hillsborough County Property Appraiser Bob Henriquez and City of Tampa Chief Building Official JC Hudgison, who will provide valuable insights on various recovery-related topics. Residents will have the opportunity to ask questions about permits, property tax assessments, and available grant programs, addressing the pressing needs of the community during this challenging time. Whit Remer, the City of Tampa's Sustainability and Resilience Officer, acknowledged the burdens many homeowners face and reaffirmed the city's commitment to offering support and guidance.

Participants are encouraged to register online at tampa. gov/register and submit questions in advance to ensure a comprehensive discussion. The virtual townhall will also be broadcasted live on local cable channels, making it accessible to a broader audience. This initiative reflects the city's dedication to rebuilding efforts and community resilience following the recent hurricanes. By providing this platform for dialogue, the City of Tampa aims to empower residents with the information they need to navigate the recovery process effectively.
