City is finalizing Neighborhood University program
Candidate Bob Buckhorn said during the campaign for Tampa mayor he would launch a "neighborhood university” program. Such a program is now being finalized by the city's Office of Neighborhood and Community Relations.
A draft proposal obtained by PolitiFact Florida showed the program is set to include an an explanation of neighborhood associations and how they can improve communities; an introduction to city government; leadership training; and communications advice.
The program has yet to be rolled out, but we see enough here to rate this promise In the Works.
