“When they had their Stanley Cup parade and their Super Bowl parade, they were on the river, it basically converted their river into their main street,” said Nashville Downtown Partnership President and CEO Tom Turner.

 

“So, seeing the possibilities there and the amount of development that took place, even with the obstacles of having so many individual property owners, it’s really, totally put Tampa in a different direction. And so they seemed like a great example for us.”

Opening the space behind cruise ship Terminal 2 as an extension of the city’s popular Riverwalk.

 

“I think the more we make that (waterfront) available to the community, the better we are as a city as we grow,” said the mayor.
