What's Going Where Wednesday VIII

We've seen house and condo development race along for some time now but new commercial development has lagged. Could it be that the time is right for new businesses to locate in Port Tampa? Here are a few places where things could go.

If you're a newcomer wondering about the rumored building of a Publix in the neighborhood here is one site that is often mentioned. On Westshore just south of the big gray metal building, this site is zoned IG (Industrial General) and would have to be rezoned. As with any of our former industrial sites some environmental clean up could be expected. Remember, the coming of any supermarket to Port Tampa is pure conjecture at this point.

This building, on the other side of Westshore has been for sale for 18 months that I know of. It is zoned commercial and many of the windows were broken before the boards went up this week. The daughter thinks this would make a good restaurant location. Perhaps she's just tired of her drive up Westshore to work.
