On March 28th, 2008, the Tampa Bay Partnership presented a check for $50,000 to the TBARTA Board to help with start-up expenses for legal counsel and operations support needed to get the authority off the ground.
This check presentation represents an extraordinary collaboration of public and private entities joining together to support a common regional solution: Our public partners took this challenge and raised $50,000 through local dollars. These community leaders and Tampa Bay partnership investors stepped up and matched the public dollars with $50,000 in private contributions.
