TAMPA -- Renovations on the historic Centro Espanol de West Tampa building should be completed by April, Tampa-Hillsborough Urban League officials told the City Council on Thursday.
The two-story brick building at Cherry Street and Howard Avenue will serve as a community resource center and headquarters for the Urban League. It will have two computer classrooms and will provide services ranging from technical training to youth development.
Most important, the center will keep neighborhood kids off the streets, said Joanna Tokley, president of the local Urban League.
The renovations are to the front of the building and include construction of an addition that will hold an elevator, restrooms and lobby area. The second phase -- to be completed within a year of April's re-opening -- will be the restoration of the 900-seat theater at the rear of the building. It will be used as a conference center.
