The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners voted to award up to $249,500 to Timberly Trust Incorporated for long-term preservation of the Mosley Homestead, a county-designated landmark at 1820 West Brandon Boulevard.

The board also approved up to $25,000 for targeted capital improvements to support the site, citing examples such as HVAC upgrades, fencing repairs and cleaning and conservation of historical materials. County communications said the Timberly Trust award would include matching funds for a $240,500 special category grant from the state of Florida.
The county said the homestead will be preserved as an educational, cultural, environmental and historical community asset. Details on the schedule for work, contract awards, specific contractors or a construction start date were not specified in the meeting recap.
