Ideally located on Florida’s west coast, Tampa is a combination of diverse, economic development and miles of natural waterways and shoreline.
In addition to a growing pharmaceutical cluster, Tampa has been called the “Wall Street of south” for its powerhouse financial services industry and is the gateway to Florida’s high tech corridor. The Port of Tampa is the largest in the southeast, serving both pleasure and industrial purposes.
Tampa’s natural setting and semi-tropical climate are ideal for a variety of recreational activities from golf to saltwater fishing to a sunset cruise. Attractions include famous Bayshore Boulevard walk, Friendship Trail-the world’s longest over-the-water recreational trail-and Busch Gardens adventure park. Sports fans clamor to support the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Devil Rays while cultural enrichment can be found at world-class performing arts events, galleries and museums including the Florida International Museum, a Smithsonian affiliate.
