In an effort to better serve Palm River residents, Greater Palm River POINT, CDC (The POINT), has moved to the Save-A-Lot shopping plaza off Palm River Road, a more central location in the Palm River area.

The POINT has grown considerably over the past three years and had outgrown their previous location off Causeway Boulevard. “Opening our offices in the heart of Palm River is part of the POINT’s strategy to further our presence in the community,” said Executive Director, Liz Gutierrez.

This move presents us with the opportunity to provide an economical solution to our space challenges and consolidate our offices into a dedicated space. Gutierrez attributes their success to their growing programs and adding new staff. “We are growing faster than we had ever imagined! The future only seems open for more growth!”

Residents are now welcome to enjoy the POINT facilities at anytime: use of residential computers, Kid’s room, and our Community Resource Network Information Corner.

The new address is 7454 Palm River Road; Tampa, FL.; 33619. The phone number, 813.628.9179, fax number, 813.663.9404 and email addresses remain the same.

"We encourage everyone to come and get acquainted with us and tour our facilities," said Kim Bennerman, Community Resource Network Coordinator. Plans for an Open House “celebration” are in the works so stay tuned for more details in the near future.
