SPECIAL SERVICES DISTRICT (SSD) The Tampa Downtown Partnership administers the Special Services District program through an annual contract with the City of Tampa. Through the Special Services District (SSD) program, the Partnership works to promote the Downtown experience through a multitude of initiatives such as marketing, economic development, transportation, planning, and beautification, as well as maintenance and safety with Tampa’s Downtown Guides and Clean Team. The Partnership also works with numerous agencies to identify opportunities and facilitate additions to the Special Services District program.
The Special Services District (SSD) is the longest operating Business Improvement District in the State of Florida. Since its inception in 1994, the SSD has provided services above and beyond the standard services provided by the City of Tampa. In October 2018, the District expanded to include an area within Tampa Heights, located north of Interstate 275. Funding for the SSD comes from a special assessment placed on property owners. This assessment is a flexible rate based on assessed value from the Hillsborough County Property Appraiser’s office.

CLEAN & SAFE DOWNTOWN GUIDES
CLEAN TEAM
Tampa's Downtown Guides help provide a safe and inviting environment through their role as on-street ambassadors. They help deter suspicious activity as Downtown’s additional eyes and ears, and offer a friendly “concierge” type service. The Downtown Guides are unarmed public safety ambassadors and patrol the Special Services District (SSD) on foot and in a service vehicle.
The Clean Team provides supplemental litter and debris removal, minor landscaping, pressure washing, and maintenance to the sidewalks, curbs, and other public areas located within the Downtown Special Services District. To maintain a clean and safe Downtown experience, Clean Team members also document and report code enforcement issues, trip hazards, street light outages, and other relevant concerns.

FAST FACTS
Currently, Darrius works closely with many local non-profits, shelters, and the Tampa Police Department each day. He averages placing 3-4 individuals into shelters weekly. In addition, he helps many find necessary services to better their lives and acts as an extension to support Tampa Police liaison efforts. Ending homelessness is an ambitious goal, but the Tampa Downtown Partnership is proud to be a part of the efforts and growing our outreach and solutions.

In the Fall of 2020, Darrius Stallworth was hired as the first Homeless Liaison with the organization. Darrius came to the Partnership with a background in social service work and a
focus on juvenile services in Hillsborough County. Darrius's heart of gold, passion for helping others, and talent to naturally engage in conversation developed a trust line that has proven successful in his efforts.
P A G E
In 2020, the Tampa Downtown Partnership took a big step forward in the efforts made to improve the lives of those who are experiencing homelessness. Various non-profit organizations, the city, and the county work hard to provide services to meet the community's needs. However, these services and staffing are spread thin throughout an area greater than Downtown Tampa. The Tampa Downtown Guides & Clean Team see the individuals who often call the streets of Downtown home. Yet, they are not armed with the proper tools to make a positive impact on those individuals.

MARKETING & DESIGN The past year was a busy one for the marketing, communications, and design efforts of the Tampa Downtown Partnership. Creative storytelling is the primary tenant of the Partnership, and the global COVID-19 pandemic made that objective more impactful than ever. Our video content increased to give our programs and staff a way to document the Partnership's work and engage our audience in fun ways, especially when many were not physically in Tampa's Downtown. Our social media influencer engagement also offered a way to collaborate with diverse creators and reach new target demographics.
During 2020, the Partnership had significant media mentions and articles every month of the year, claiming a more substantial portion of both the local and national news media market. In July, a new website was launched that gives viewers dynamic, fresh content on the homepage while providing flexibility to staff to tailor the website to suit the immediate needs of each program. Our in-house design capabilities launched many sub-brands, campaigns, and projects. Our work with artists and visual communicators ensures design excellence is at the core of everything we do.
PROJECT SPOTLIGHT SKYLINE MASK R E TA I L C A M PA I G N Mask On Tampa was a month and a half long campaign which encouraged visitors of Tampa’s Downtown to visit local, small businesses and spend a certain amount to receive a custom, Tampa Downtown Partnership skyline branded mask. This campaign not only provided unique masks to the public during the Emergency Mask Order but also was a creative way to bring customers and their dollars to Downtown businesses. The Partnership selected diverse ground floor businesses to participate between November 3 and December 20. Before the announcement of each location the Partnership teased where the masks would be on Instagram and released details the following day on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. The campaign was a resounding success.

The Downtown Worker and Resident Study for the Tampa Downtown Partnership was established as a baseline study by HCP Associates in 2008. Results from prior years’ studies have given rise to enhanced accessibility to the river, waterfront dining, events in the parks, new museums and attractions, extended operating hours for transportation and merchants, full-service grocers, and more. The participation in this year's survey was higher than average, which allowed for statistics to be broken down by sub-districts or neighborhoods for the first time.

PUBLIC SPACE
P A G E
15
Tampa Downtown Partnership’s Public Space initiatives advance our Downtown parks and public spaces into highly programmed and attractive places. This is a multifaceted approach to the planning, design, and management of public spaces. Recurring initiatives include events such as Rock the Park, Community Fitness Classes, Mayor’s River O’Green Fest, Winter Village, Summer Series, and Mayor’s Food Truck Fiesta.
This past year many of these events had to be re-imagined or put on pause due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Virtual programming took the place of in-person gatherings until it was safe to do so again. These virtual programs drew new audiences with a wider-reach and set forth practices of documentation to improve access and inclusion related to public space programming.
PROJECT SPOTLIGHT T H E S Q U A R E AT G A S L I G H T PA R K The Square is a temporary public space activation project at Lykes Gaslight Square Park in Downtown Tampa. The project features a food kiosk operated by the Tampa Downtown Partnership with grab n’ go options provided by Inside the Box – a part of Metropolitan Ministries. In addition, the Tampa Downtown Partnership temporarily installed movable tables and chairs, overhead lighting and offered music and other public space activities during the project’s duration. Unlike a traditional public input meeting that may last an hour or two, we have developed the temporary activation to experience the space and then provide input over several months.

GRANT PROGRAMS
P A G E
17
The Partnership operates grant programs to help support and meet the changing needs of the Downtown community. The Special Services District Advisory Committee directs the grant funds and staff ensures that the grant funds are easy to apply for and help small businesses throughout the district. Currently, the Partnership offers two grant programs to help business owners Downtown, the Storefront and Sidewalk Café Grant and the Downtown Dollar. The purpose of the Tampa Downtown Storefront and Sidewalk Café Grant Program is to
support and encourage more investment in the street level appearance through physical improvements. These funds can be used for seating, façade improvements, lighting, signage, or elements that add to the design of the business. In the previous FY19-20, the Partnership distributed $30,000 in grant funds to serve as an emergency resource to locations closed during the March 2020 Safer at Home order due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. The grants were given to eligible businesses to aid in any immediate operating expenses.
Downtown Dollar Vouchers
PROJECT SPOTLIGHT >>
DOWNTOWN DOLLAR
The Downtown Dollar is a small business stimulus program developed by the Tampa Downtown Partnership to help increase foot traffic to groundlevel businesses due to the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic. The Special Services District Advisory Committee reallocated funds previously used for a placemaking-related grant program to help fill an immediate need in the community. The program offers free $10 vouchers on the first Wednesday of the month that can be redeemed within 48 hours at participating businesses. The program benefits small business owners within the Partnership’s district and helps Downtown workers, residents, or guests who might need financial assistance. For FY20-21, the Partnership will distribute $20,000 worth of vouchers, averaging around 200 per month. The program has over 45 participating businesses, including restaurants, services, and retail.

TRANSPORTATION & PLANNING
P A G E
19
The ability to offer a connected, available and affordable transit system continues to be one of every great city’s challenges. The Tampa Downtown Partnership is at the forefront of this issue. We recognize the responsibility of providing effective leadership, thoughtful advocacy, and targeted communication efforts to better all modes of transportation Downtown and work tirelessly to address difficulties and opportunities. The Downtowner, a public/private partnership micro-transit program managed by the Partnership, ended five years of service.
Efforts continue to implement the recommended strategies of the Downtown Comprehensive Parking Plan, with cooperation from both the public and private sectors. The plan was expanded into the Tampa Heights/Yellow Brick Row neighborhood. Our Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Analysis report provided high-level policy recommendations and actions the Partnership can collaborate with the City of Tampa and private sector on an increase in EV adoption.
PROJECT SPOTLIGHT FRANKLIN STREET VISION Extensive community and stakeholder input and surveys resulted in the Franklin Street Vision Plan. The document outlines the results of a collaborative planning and design effort to envision Franklin Street’s present and future role as a historic main street and critical north-south connector in Tampa’s Downtown. The public input portion of the project was held online using a tool where community members could pin areas of interest or concern and share their thoughts. After the input was compiled, a full report with an overarching vision for the area was developed. Moving forward, the Partnership will collaborate with the City of Tampa and building owners to develop action items and projects to match the vision of the corridor.

Calmer roads allowed for “art in unexpected places.” In collaboration with the City of Tampa and local artists, ground murals were added at three intersections as part of Art on the Block Unity Day. As part of the City’s Vision Zero initiative, we installed seven blocks of decorated curb extensions along Ashley Drive and added parking for 99 bicycles in all Downtown city-owned parking garages. Four parklets were added to onstreet parking spaces to allow for more outdoor dining space. To aid in wayfinding, pedestrian Walk Your City signs were added in the Channel District neighborhood.

The Partnership’s Downtown Debriefing breakfast series was temporarily re-branded to Digital Debriefings, a monthly 1-hour virtual program focusing on homelessness, transportation, and cultural attractions. We also explored the Value of Downtowns report and how cities navigated COVID-19, heard economic updates from experts on the Super Bowl and Florida’s legislative session.
The Partnership shifted its annual half-day Downtown Development Forum digital this year for a three-day virtual event. It featured over thirty speakers from around the country, state of Florida, and Tampa Bay region for an audience of hundreds of members and stakeholders. As changes in health guidelines developed, the Partnership adapted to its programming and events, and hybrid events were held appropriately. The second Local Leaders Luncheon was held in-person and online to honor restaurateur, community champion, and Downtown supporter Richard Gonzmart. The Urban Excellence Awards (UEA) was held under the stars at the Riverwalk Stage at the Straz Performing Arts Center. UEA nominees and winners were able to celebrate safely in person and virtually from the comfort of their own homes.
