TAMPA — New hotels are opening. New restaurants aren’t far behind. New apartments are on the horizon.
And new numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau bear out what you can see with your own two eyes in the growth of downtown Tampa’s business environment.
Between 2007, when the recession stalled developments all over Tampa, and 2012, the most recent numbers available, the city added more than 3,100 private jobs in the ZIP code that includes downtown and Tampa Heights.
