Port of Tampa received $22.5 million in state funds for major infrastructure improvements

The Tampa Port Authority announced that it has received $22.5 million in state funds toward the modernization and expansion of its primary petroleum terminal complex. Governor Scott announced the allocation of these funds, through the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), as part of his commitment to strategic investment in Florida seaports and trade development.

The Governor’s announcement represents a major strategic investment in the petroleum terminal infrastructure at the Port of Tampa. The Port of Tampa is the energy gateway for all of west central Florida, serving almost nine million people. Critical to consumers and the economic vitality of the region, all of the automobile gasoline and aviation jet fuel for the region’s airports (including Tampa and Orlando) moves through the port. Modernization and expansion of the port’s primary petroleum terminal will enable the port to continue to underpin the region’s economic growth, viability and job creation. This investment at the Port of Tampa will ensure that west central Florida’s business environment has the necessary energy supply to thrive deep into the 21st century.
