Bruce Katz, the Brookings Institution’s globe-trotting guru who believes cities are the innovation engines that will drive the 21st century economy, stopped by Tampa and Hillsborough County for a few days this past week to see how we’re doing and dispense some advice.
In a whirlwind of visits with Tampa International Airport CEO Joe Lopano, downtown revivalist and Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeff Vinik and other area leaders, Katz was escorted by tour guide Mark Sharpe.
