This month the guest speaker was JD Porter, owner of The Wiregrass Foundation. Mr. Porter gave an informative update on the future of Wiregrass Ranch. The Porter Family remains the stewards of Wiregrass Ranch, and their vision of a thriving family community is reality. Located just 30 minutes outside of Downtown Tampa, Wiregrass Ranch is 5,000 acres of life teeming with beautiful neighborhoods, trails and parks, a 67-acre open air retail and entertainment complex, world-class medical centers, K-12 and college campuses, and recreational facilities. Here the beauty of pastoral life intertwines with the energy of city living.

The monthly meetings provide Chamber Members with up-to-date information on Economic Development activities going on in the North Tampa Bay area. Guest speakers are invited to brief the committee on projects related to Economic Development and vary from month to month.
