Why is an Office—Complete with Desks and Cubicles—Popping Up in a Downtown Tampa Park This Week?

 

 

By Going Outdoors, “Office in the Park” Opens the Door to Fresh Ideas

 

 

TAMPA, FL (September 30, 2024) – For three days this week, a real, working office will spring up in the middle of Downtown Tampa’s Lykes Gaslight Square Park. As leaves drop onto their desks and commuters stroll by their cubicles, the staff of the Tampa Downtown Partnership will be working- and listening.

 

Office in the Park is a unique chance for people who live, work, and play in Tampa’s Downtown to share their thoughts on the city and its future.

 

October 1-3 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., people can drop by the “office” to share their thoughts in several unique ways:

–  A giant board will collect post-it notes with ideas and thoughts from visitors.

–  The official Downtown survey, “Your Voice. Your Downtown.” will be available for attendees to give their feedback.

 

“We’re eager to gather genuine feedback and innovative ideas about Downtown Tampa, and engaging with the community is essential,” said Kenyetta Hairston-Bridges, President and CEO of the Tampa Downtown Partnership. “As the voice of Tampa’s Downtown, it’s our job to bring people together to talk about the future.”

 

– Taking the “Your Voice. Your Downtown.” survey on site earns you a prize.

– You can also enter a raffle giveaway for a new office chair from Contract Furniture, the partner that is furnishing the pop-up offices.

– Kuducom is providing wifi for Office in the Park workers and visitors.
