Recently a group of Tampa area business leaders published a letter in the Tampa Bay Times declaring that “business leaders” support the “sister city” plan and vision for a new stadium in Ybor city that would host the Tampa Bay Rays as a part-time team.
The letter, signed by 39 local business leaders (38 men and 1 woman) alongside their institutional affiliations, also noted the endorsements of “three prominent regional Chambers [of Commerce]” whose support had been announced in November.
So, it sounds like the local business community is solidly behind this plan, right?
