Would Mayor's New Plan Bring You Downtown?

Many Bloomingdale and Riverview residents drive to downtown Tampa each day for work. Others spend time at museums, concerts or sporting events. But Tampa's Mayor is hoping a new plan will entice more people to visit downtown, or even pack up and move into the city.

With the hope of connecting major arteries of Tampa Bay to create a pedestrian-friendly feel and encourage small business growth, Mayor Bob Buckhorn, urban planners and a consulting firm discussed a plan called InVision Tampa on Tuesday. 

"There's been a resurgence in downtown Tampa in ways you can't even imagine," Buckhorn said.
