SUMMARY:
On December 1, 2007, the Council approved a five year-year Agreement with up to three, five-year extensions between the Agency and the City for the provision of certain desirable activities at the Wood Valley Park. The agreement is currently in the last of its three, five-year extensions and will end in 2027.
Over the past 17 years the Agency faithfully complied with all requirements of the agreement and has provided various activities to build and foster the confidence, educational, recreational and social skills and good habits in young people, adults and families. The Boys and Girls Clubs of the Suncoast, Inc. has recently merged with the Boys and Girls Club of Tampa Bay to form a new organization called the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Tampa Bay.
