Jeff Vinik wants to fix that.
The Tampa Bay Lighting owner on Wednesday rolled out his long-awaited $1 billion "vision plan" to build nearly 3 million square feet of development along the city's waterfront.
"What we're doing is completing the plan city planners dreamed up long ago," Vinik told an approving throng of VIPs who gathered at his Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel & Marina for the glitzy unveiling.
The project will be built in phases and will take up to a decade to complete. By then, Vinik envisions downtown transformed by a new urban medical school, corporate headquarters, condos, hotel, meeting space and shops and restaurants.
