Tampa is Florida's third most populous city, and
its chief treasure is its diversity. The city today combines elements
of the Italian, Spanish, Indian, Cuban, and African American cultures
that reflect its historical development and give Tampa a cosmopolitan
flair. Its warm, sunny weather, Gulf Coast location, abundant
labor supply, and spirit of cooperation between the public and
private sectors have made it a very attractive choice for companies
wishing to expand or relocate. The influx of new businesses and
residents has in turn revitalized the city, sparking a multibillion-dollar
construction and renovation boom that combines the best of old
Tampa with dynamic new structures to better serve the growing
community. Tampa is proud of its accomplishments and excited about
the future.
