Description
Tampa Mayor Jane Castor confirmed to 10 Investigates the city is negotiating possible land swaps to free up land currently occupied by two business properties atop a destroyed Black cemetery along North Florida Avenue in Tampa Heights.
"We’ve continued to work on being able to take over ownership for the Gonzmart property and the towing location so that we can make that entire area a memorial to...Zion," she told 10 Investigates' Emerald Morrow.
Castor said the city has been working on a possible deal for "well over a year."
