Jeff Vinik addresses future of Tampa at innovation summit

For the future of Tampa Bay, look 700 miles northwest. 

That's Nashville. Tampa Bay Lightning owner and prominent real estate developer Jeff Vinik cited the fast-growing country music capital favorably in a recent presentation before area business leaders. That especially includes transportation, in which Nashville is poised to spend $5.4 billion on a massive public transit overhaul — featuring an extensive light-rail system — if a tax increase is approved in a referendum next month.
