Tampa Bay EDC's foundation gets $100,000 grant

The Tampa Bay Economic Prosperity Foundation, affiliated with the Tampa Bay Economic Development Council, says Truist Foundation made a $100,000 grant for the foundation's "Inclusive Economic Growth Initiative."

The initiative is focused on generating jobs and capital investment in underserved areas of Tampa and Hillsborough County, including East Tampa, Central Park, Ybor City and the University Area, according to foundation officials.

Truist Foundation’s donation will be applied toward the implementation of the East Tampa Industrial District master plan, say foundation officials.
