Site Selection: The Importance of locating your company near a world class airport.

April 2, 2014

"How important is it for a business to locate in an airport city?" is the question asked in the March 2014 edition of Site Selection Magazine. According to Site Selection magazine, "in the past, it was assumed that the competitive advantage of airport cities as office locations would be air connectivity and proximity to the airport terminal." However, the companies interviewed in its survey showed that, "air connectivity in general was desired, and companies consider a travel time up to 30 minutes to the airport adequate." Pasco County is less than 30 minutes from one of the world's most admired airports, Tampa International Airport (TIA). In an effort to further entice companies to locate their business to Tampa Bay, on March 5, Gov. Rick Scott announced $194 million in State funds to help pay for the biggest expansion in TIA's history.
