Residents can provide feedback online starting March 19
Hillsborough County, Fla. (March 18, 2025) - Residents are invited to provide feedback on the proposed Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) Public Safety Communications Center and Communications Tower planned for 9927 Delaney Lake Dr., Tampa, FL 33619. The online engagement will run from Wednesday, March 19, to Sunday, March 30, on the County's engagement and education hub, HCFL.gov/HCEngage.
On Dec. 18, 2024, the Board of County Commissioners approved a term sheet for a property exchange between Ybor City Holdings, LLC and Hillsborough County. The exchange involves five County parcels totaling around 8.33 acres in Ybor City, which houses the current HCSO Operations Center, for an existing 140,000 square-foot-building on 25.07 acres located at 9927 Delaney Lake Drive for a new HCSO Operations Center. Once the exchange is completed in 2025, the HCSO operations team will begin planning for their future move. The construction of a new communications center and communications tower is necessary for the move.
The HCSO Public Safety Communications Center and Communications Tower would include a facility up to 32,000 square feet, as well as a 160-foot antenna tower, both of which will support the HCSO communications systems that serve all public safety agencies operating in Hillsborough County. The tower is critical infrastructure for the HCSO office relocation.
The construction of the proposed communications center and tower would take place only after the completion of the proposed relocation of HCSO from Ybor City to 9927 Delaney Lake Drive.
