RAYBOR: To Be or Not To Be

Plans to redevelop Ybor Harbor don’t include a baseball stadium for the Rays


A Tampa mega-developer filed plans with the city on Thursday to redevelop the Ybor Harbor area into a "dynamic new 33-acre mixed-use waterfront development" surrounding Ybor Channel and located just south of Adamo Drive.

According to a news release, the site, owned by Darryl Shaw, could include up to 6 million square feet of residential, office, hotel and retail space.

New renderings show baseball stadium in proposed 'GasWorx' District that would link Ybor and Channelside


The City of Tampa released new renderings of a one-of-a-kind baseball stadium in the middle of the proposed GasWorx District, which would link Ybor and Channelside. 

The design shows the stadium just South of Ybor City and the Selmon Expressway, and just east of the Channel that is now home to a shipping hub [Ybor Harbor].

Tampa developer Darryl Shaw plans to turn 25 acres of industrial land into a so-called "GasWorx" District. The renderings show a stadium amidst the mixed-use development.

Rays not ready to commit to St. Pete despite mayor choosing team's own plan to redevelop Tropicana Field site

 


On Friday, Hillsborough County Commissioner Ken Hagan said talks with the Rays are progressing. He said Tampa officials met with the team last week and the Rays have chosen a future stadium site in Ybor City.

"Things are progressing," he told FOX 13's sports director Scott Smith. "We met with the Rays as recently as last week. It’s critically important that the Rays remain in Tampa Bay, so I’m confident they will, at the same time, I’m also confident that the Rays will choose Tampa. They’ve hand-selected a site in Ybor City. We’re excited about it and I think the discussions will certainly intensify here in the weeks to come."

That location, according to Hagan, is the Ybor Harbor, a 33-acre piece of land sitting along the Ybor Channel, next to Port Tampa Bay. The property was recently purchased by real estate investor Darryl Shaw.

2020 Election Quick Reference


I have compiled a list of candidates running in federal, state and county elections that will appear on the ballots in Hillsborough County. I thought this list might be of help to those who want to research the qualifications and viewpoints of the candidates before entering the voting booth. I have begun adding links to the candidate's campaign website, facebook page or twitter account as I find them. Just click on a candidate's name if you see that it is color highlighted. When I can finish adding links to the complete page, I will repost this article. For now though, I thought it would be a good place to start.

Hillsborough County Voters Choose Transit Over New Stadium

No wait, sorry it was St. Louis!
-----
Supporters of the stadium poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into an ad campaign for the stadium, including visits by national soccer figures and TV and billboard ads. 
-----
Opponents spent little money against Proposition 2, but a number of prominent officials and activists vocally opposed the measure, arguing that it shouldn’t be a priority for a city facing economic and public safety issues, and that a team wasn’t likely to benefit lower-income residents or neighborhoods. here
-----
 “No public stadium, no team.” 
MLS Commissioner Don Garber
Try Vegas, they are giving away tons of taxpayer cash over there,  ask The Raiders.

Check out bad ass San Diego

We can do it too!
