June 13, 2016 | 1 min to read
TAMPA — Port Tampa Bay has joined with Tampa real estate developer Richard Corbett to finance the building of an on-dock cold storage facility.
Port Tampa Bay plans to start construction on a 130,000-square-foot cold storage food products facility this year. The facility is expected to be operational by fall 2017. The project was delayed until the port found financing for the project. That's where Corbett comes in.
"Dick Corbett has supported Tampa Bay and the state for many years. We are excited that he shares our vision that Port Tampa Bay will be the hub of the growing food distribution market in Central Florida," Paul Anderson, president and CEO of Port Tampa Bay, said in a statement. "As in all of our projects at the port, this will be a model public-private partnership that supports our strategic and master plan for our growth."
Corbett is the developer behind International Plaza in Tampa.
