Tampa
Perhaps best known for hosting Super Bowls and Gasparilla parades, housing MacDill Air Force Base and being home to professional sports teams and high profile athletes – the crown jewel of the Tampa Bay region is oh-so-much more. Tampa is on the verge of achieving many long-planned ambitions. Downtown redevelopment, the expansion of the city’s port and airport, a planned Interstate 4 Green Tech corridor and a substantial increase in research activities at the University of South Florida fuel its progress.
Draper Labs Span Tampa Bay
The history of Tampa and St. Petersburg has not always been one of cooperation, especially in innovation, development, transit, sportsand business, but that may be about to change. The plans for Charles Stark Draper Laboratories Inc. of Cambridge, Mass. are a dramatic example of how both cities can offer appealing sites and an available workforce for a high-quality employer, says Stacey Swank, business development manager for the Pinelllas County Economic Development Department.
