Description
Tampa City Council voted unanimously late Thursday morning to spend $100,000 on purchasing a historic Black cemetery from an investor who outbid the city for the land in an online foreclosure auction.
Council members approved an agreement to purchase Memorial Park Cemetery from Alexis Arteaga of 2714 West Sligh LLC, whose winning bid of $18,000 plus about $12,000 in additional fees made him the rightful owner of the property with thousands of graves.
