Forming A New Neighborhood Organization
In 2009 a petition was circulated by a group of concerned residents seeking to form a Hampton Terrace Neighborhood Association (HTNA). Although the petition circulated did not call for the separation of the Hampton Terrace district from the Old Seminole Heights Neighborhood Association (OSHNA), with which the region had been affiliated for many years, the City of Tampa's Neighborhood Relations Office chose to recognize Hampton Terrace as a separate and distinct neighborhood from Old Seminole Heights and the corresponding neighborhood association. Among the stated purposes of the original petition was to stop efforts to designate Hampton Terrace as a Local Historic District with oversight from the city of Tampa Architectural Review Commission. This citizens group subsequently registered articles of incorporation for HTNA with the State of Florida, establishing it as a standalone organization.
The HTNA organization received correspondence from the NRO that the petition had received the requisite signatures to succeed on February 3, 2010 in an official city memorandum. A subsequent memorandum from the city dated February 16 indicated the city's expectation that the HTNA organization would hold two neighborhood meetings; one for nominations and elections. The deadline for completion was stated in the letter as May 17, 2010.

“We are now a nation of people in daily contact with strangers. Thanks to mass transportation, school administrators and teachers often live many miles from the neighborhood schoolhouse. They are no longer in daily informal contact with parents, ministers, and other institution leaders . . . [and are] no longer a natural extension of parental authority.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
“Unless a group of workers know their work is under surveillance, that they are being rated as fairly as human beings, with the fallibility that goes with human judgment, can rate them, and that at least an attempt is made to measure their worth to an organization in relative terms, they are likely to sink back on length of service as the sole reason for retention and promotion.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
