Our 39th Annual Meeting and Luncheon will be held on Thursday, September 18, at Downtown’s JW Marriott Tampa Water Street!
We can’t wait to hear from our keynote, James Lima, showcase all of the Partnership’s accomplishments over the past year, introduce the 2025-2026 Board of Directors leadership slate, and unveil our new five-year strategic plan.
James founded JLP+D in 2011 after leading redevelopment strategies for numerous large-scale sites as a partner at a major national economic and real estate advisory firm. Previously, he was Senior Director of Development in the New York office of residential REIT AvalonBay Communities, Inc. Additionally, James was appointed by NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg as founding President of the Governors Island Preservation and Education Corporation, overseeing the redevelopment of a 172-acre former military facility in New York Harbor.
We look forward to hearing James’ insight on the latest trends in Downtown connectivity, placemaking, development and so much more!
