Why Emerge Tampa Bay?: "Nearly all major American cities are undergoing a renaissance of their urban core. The shift away from strictly suburban development has finally arrived and people, especially under 35, are moving back to the cities. I believe with the next economic boom Tampa will be the next southern city to see massive growth. Being part of Emerge Tampa allows me to be involved in this renaissance and growth thus helping to make Tampa an attractive place for people in our age group to live and work. "
