Outlook sunny for Tampa's recovery

The weather is just right for moving a business to Tampa, according to three executives who participated in the first online webinar by the Tampa Bay Partnership.

The organization invited business leaders to tune into a virtual discussion with a panel of executives from Coca-Cola, IMG Academies and the Technology Conservation Group. During the “eTown hall meeting,” the group discussd the pulse of business in the Bay area and highlighted the qualities that will attract businesses, including the weather.

“We get 300 days of sunshine, and in an operation such as this we can't afford business disruption,” says Chris Ciaccio, vice president of marketing and outreach for IMG Academies. “We had a couple of hurricanes but we never completely closed down.”
