After nearly two decades in its current office, the Florida RV Trade Association (FRVTA) team is relocating.
The association will transition its headquarters 20 miles away, from Riverview, Florida, to Tampa, Florida. The new location is five minutes away from the Florida State Fairgrounds, the site of the association’s RV SuperShow, Tampa Bay Summer RV Show and Tampa Bay Fall RV Show.
According to FRVTA Executive Director Dave Kelly, the convenient location makes travel between the Fairgrounds and office easy.
The new location is nearly twice the size of the former office space. The new building measures 4,000 square feet. In the new facility, the nine office employees will have individual office spaces. Employees shared workspaces in the Riverview office.
The new facility includes indoor and outdoor storage space. FRVTA paid for three storage units in addition to its Riverview office expenses. The move will save the association around $1,200-$1,500 per month.
FRVTA will store its show trailer in the covered outdoor storage space in Tampa. Rather than storing materials and equipment in separate units, they will now be in the same location.
While many FRVTA employees live close to the Riverview office, Kelly said the team is eager to move into a bigger location.
“Even though it is going to be a little bit longer drive for everyone,” Kelly said, “they are all very excited about the new beginning.”
Kelly said the transition to the new office is expected to be complete after the Tampa Bay Summer RV Show.
