Congressman David Jolly (FL-13) released the following statement today regarding the FDOT Tampa Bay Cruise Ship Study.
"It's important we begin this dialogue now and explore all options to ensure the Port of Tampa is positioned to maximize future cruise business opportunities. The options discussed in today's report are a great start. The Port of Tampa has a $15 billion annual economic impact and if there are ways to increase that number, we should work tirelessly to do that. But no option should come at the expense of our environment."
