Thursday morning, Tampa’s Community Redevelopment Agency approved $15 million in funding for a Florida Aquarium redevelopment project.
In three phases, expected to be completed by 2026, the aquarium will create four new exhibits, including a new penguin and sea lion exhibit, and the state’s only puffin exhibit. The redevelopment plan also includes improved amenities for guests. The entire project is expected to cost $45 million, of which the aquarium will cover $30 million.
