Here’s your sign… For months HEYGNA members have shown up to clean up. We not only have a more pleasant neighborhood, our efforts gain recognition through Hillsborough County’s community engagement program, Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful. Keep an eye out for our sign, at a location to be determined on 34th Street.

A lovely day to walk the East Ybor Park area on Saturday, for a neighborhood cleanup and review of conditions along 12th Ave. and adjacent streets. HEYGNA members took the opportunity to meet residents and distribute association contact information.
Along with the general cleanup, several large abandoned items were found and reported to the city for removal.
Members also trimmed overgrowth around vacant properties and noted road conditions and wastewater impediments.
